Celebration Earth: Making The Jump From A Culture Of War To A Culture Of Peace
What a Success!
The kids had a great week! We celebrated Earth Day with an entire week of activities that combined both Earth Day and National Volunteer Week. We made sure that what we were doing for the earth we were also doing for others. Our culminating activity was our Earth Jump. We "jumped for joy" for our thankfulness of a healthy earth and our healthy bodies. This was our way of combining Earth Week and our participation in Jump Rope for Heart. Jump Rope for Heart is a program with the American Heart Association to help fight heart disease.
Thanks for including us in this fun activity!!
Earth Week Activities at Woodland

Benefactor: Woodland via Funding Factory

→Students will bring Aluminum Pop Tabs.
Benefactor: The Ronald McDonald House Charities.
THURSDAY: Thirsty Thursday
Uplift is a local, all volunteer, homeless outreach program. They are not funded by federal, state or local government grants or sponsored by other organizations and/or agencies. Uplift survives by donations and a personal commitment to feed and clothe the area's homeless.
→Students will bring empty water bottles with lids to be used to provide clean drinking water to the homeless.
Benefactor: Uplift
FRIDAY: A Step in the Right Direction
Soles4Souls offers a simple way to help reduce the strain on our environment: donate your "gently worn" footwear to people in need instead of throwing them away. Last year alone, Americans discarded more than 300 million pairs of shoes. When these shoes break down in our landfills, the toxic glue that holds the shoes together can leak into our water supply and atmosphere.
→Students will bring “gently used” shoes of any size.
