A lot has changed in the Summit group since the last time I've blogged; many welcome changes. We've had much more communication with the administrators and students at Boyd, and we've even been establishing relationships with members of the Springfield Urban Alliance. March, and this week in general, have been really busy for Think Green. As Drew mentioned, he and I embarked on a cold trek to Central High School yesterday to solidify plans for the Green Carnival in April. This will be a wonderful opportunity for us to partner with others in the community, and it's also really rewarding to see high school students that are so passionate about the environment (future Summit kids? :))
Last night we headed over to Boyd and participated in a Springfield Urban Alliance garden and environmental awareness night. We were able to break up into groups and help the Boyd students plant avocado seeds, make recyclable notebooks, and learn about eating healthy. This activity was an excellent way for us to meet other Springfield men and women who share our enthusiasm for the environment and also wish to instill these values in the future generation.
Finally, today we will be heading back over to Boyd for a green recess event. These events have been very successful in the past, so I've got high hopes for today. We will be making flower pots/vases with the kids that are made from toilet paper rolls and carefully cut cereal boxes. I think the students will be really excited to make these.
Peace,
Schamy
