Our various Earth Day month activities have been going very well. Below you can find details about the Parent Association Green Meeting (on Apr. 20) and the Student Sustainability Assembly (on Apr. 27). . You can seem some photos of the day on our new webpage on the MS51.org. website. The page is called "Green, Healthy and Connected". The page is still being added to, but so far you can see info about the sustainability coordinator, an updated photo of the Green Team, the Guests at the Sustainability Assembly, The School Wellness Program, The Dept. of Transportation's Bike To School day, MS51's partnership with the Old Stone House (OSH) and OSH Environmental educator Claudia Joseph.
On that site you can also find the Student Pledge and the Family Survey/Pledge, the RRRRESOURCE list and Ms. Hoffman's Spring Bibliography. Hard copies of those should all have made it home to you this last week - the student Pledge and Family survey/Pledge require your review and signature. If those forms have not come home or if you need another copy - you can print them out. Please help them come back to us - your son or daughter's pledge to not little and to abide by recycling mandates is required and we really want to hear from you about your recycling habits at home and/or favorite resources.
