GTS Earth/Arbor Day Celebration
EARTH – ARBOR DAY CELEBRATION on Thursday, April 26
Volunteers are needed to help the children with planting activities.To volunteer, contact Erika: egoldberg@greenetowneschool.org
PLEASE SEND IN YOUR PLASTIC DELI CONTAINERS!
Our Arbor/Earth Day activities always focus on environmental components. Pleasesend in pint-sized and quart-sized deli containers with lids for our Earth Day projects. We like to re-use everyday objects to model responsible stewardship of our home, Earth. It doesn’t matter if they are clear, opaque, or solid colored…the important thing is the size, that they have a matching lid, and that they are beingre-used! These are the containers that often come with take-out food. Kindergarteners are making mini worm habitats and younger Primary children will make windowsill lettuce gardens to bring home. Thanks!
