Sarah Smith Green Week IC Recap
“Green Week,” March 14-18, encouraged to students think about how everyday choices affect the environment. It was a hit at the Intermediate Campus, where students collected 436 signatures from classmates and teachers pledging to “reduce, reuse and recycle” whenever possible. (Not bad for a campus of about 550 people!)
Daily trivia contest winners got to hang out with Greenlie McGreenerson for a day, and students learned things like:
• If 100,000 Americans stopped their junk mail each year we could save 250,000 trees.
• Microwave ovens use less energy than a regular oven.
• Americans use most of the water in the bathroom. Turn the water off when you brush your teeth.
“How are you GREEN” IC Poster Contest Winners:
Congratulations to R. Sashti (3rd grade), N. Kitts (4th grade), and S. Golden (4th grade) who each received a unique trophy and a waste-free lunch kit for their recycled art entries.
Taste Test Results:
In a blind test at the IC, 56% of tasters preferred tap water, 38% preferred bottled water, and 6% had no preference.
Green Inspectors’ Awards:
The “greenest” classes awards went to these super-recyclers: 3rd grade— Ms. Young’s class, 4th grade—Mr. Blackwell’s class, and 5th grade—Ms. Abromitis’ class. Imagine what would happen if we all were super recyclers every day!
