Students and volunteers will participate in a variety of events on April 24, and April 27th-30th.

On April 24, 2009 some students and volunteers will start Earth Week off by collecting litter around and throughout the school, and some will water flowers and keep our development of our new Reading Garden clean. After the clean-up, students and volunteers will come together and discuss the importance of recycling, helping others, and keeping our school and community clean. The discussion will follow a mini-celebration with food, snacks, and awards for our visiting volunteers.

From April 27-28th, students will submit pictures and essays for our coloring and essay contest, and winners will be announced on April 30th.

During the week of April 27th-30th the Recycle and Litter Patrols will decorate our school with Earth Day posters, which they will create. On April 29th, The Young and Art Museum will come to our school (for an in-house field trip), present the importance of recycling and lead our students on a fun experience where they will make an earth out of recycled newspaper. Each morning during the week of APril 27th-30, students from the Recycle and Litter Planeteers Club will go on our televised morning announcements and present important facts about littering and recycling to our students and staff.
