Our Elementary School has been recognized as a “Green School” by our state. So Earth Day is a big deal. We have undertaken many projects in and around the grounds to help conserve energy and preserve the environment. There was an “ampitheatre” installed on the hill to keep the ground from eroding. There have been trees and bushes planted. The electricity usage has been cut by changing out light bulbs and turning off lights and computers when not in use. There are recycling bins for paper throughout the school and for bottles, cans, and containers in the cafeteria. There has been a switch to compostable paper products for PTA events and annual stream clean-ups nearby.
Today Kate’s class presented a play: “The Great Kapok Tree”. She was a narrator. The students also shared pledges of ways they could help the Earth at home with their families. Some students read recycling essays and played music too! “This Land is Your Land”
