What a fantastic day! Under the direction of our science department andscience teacher Ms. Swanson, the school celebrated the 40th anniversary of Earth Day. It started with an Oath Tree in the link. This morning each student had a post-it note on her/his locker. From instruction is the science class or with announcements first thing in the morning the idea was for each student to make a pledge about what he/she was going to do to support the goals of Earth Day and post it around the Oath Tree.
That worked fairly well. Of course one of the popular responses was a pledge to not use so many post-it notes. At least that shows they were thinking about the concepts around being "green."
The pine tree give away is Friday (tomorrow). Plant a tree and make the world a better tomorrow.
Over the lunch period, 9th and 10th grade students were allow outside to collect trash to make for a better neighborhood. You can bet almost all of them promised to fill a bag. And many did. So a little community service in the mix.
Was a beautiful day and I believe most had fun. Staff and many students dressed in their green and brown. Can't say it looked exactly like a forest but was a reminder that we need to think about the earth and all the resources we use (and waste).
