Our school will kick off Earth Week on Monday, April 19th with DIG IN!, a day that will raise awareness about the environmental impact of our food systems. To reduce their footprint and learn about the impact of their food choices, students can complete challenges to earn Footprint Badges.
To reduce our water and carbon footprints, the cafeteria will serve a meatless option for lunch. Students bringing lunch from home are encouraged to pack a waste-free and meatless meal. You can help the Earth one bite at a time by making your meal waste-free and meatless!

 

 

Earth Week continues with Art in Nature. From the food we eat and the water we drink to the air we breathe, we are all connected to and a part of nature. The artist in all of us is constantly amazed by the colors in a beautiful sunrise or sunset! To remember the importance of the Earth, classes will have the option of creating natured-themed projects during recess. Consider nature-inspired projects you can do at home too!

 

 

Become a CITIZEN SCIENTIST​on Wednesday and help locate and identify the variety of plants and animals that call Greenwich home. COLLECT DATA! Get outside and observe, identify, and record the plants and animals that exist on our school grounds. Through the Seek by iNaturalist app, the Greenwich Conservation Commission will compile data collected across Greenwich to create a more comprehensive list of the species that call Greenwich home.
Also, consider creating an Earth-friendly project for the STEM at Home Phase II!
