1.4 Celebration
Green Day Celebration
Number of Students: Entire school student body: Grades 1-4: 168 students
Others in Attendance: Rev. Leslie St. Louis, Mr. Tom Sykes, Faculty, Staff and Parents
Date: Thursday, October 19, 2017 and annually thereafter
Prior to our first annual Green Day Celebration, our school community was encouraged to wear green and to bring a lunch in reusable containers on Thursday, October 19th. In addition, each class designed and decorated a bird feeder out of a recycled milk jug. Students used recycled milk cartons or yarn to create individual bird feeders decorated with cereal and sunflower seed to take home after our celebration. A bird feeder post was installed in a newly created Tulip/Daffodil garden on the Holy Trinity Lower School campus by our community liaison, Mr. Tom Sykes.
Our beautiful fall school day ended with a dedication ceremony around our new Tulip/Daffodil garden. The students, faculty, staff, Mr. Sykes, Reverend Leslie and parents gathered around the new site. Songs were led by our music teacher. Four fourth grade students served as masters of ceremonies. Student representatives from each grade level (1-4) recited a poem. Reverend Leslie blessed our bird feeders and the new post and garden site. Mrs. Falk, our school director, recognized Mr. Sykes for his help to install the bird feeder post and selected from a jar the names of the four classes whose bird feeders would be first to be hung on the posts.
As our activities may change from year to year, we aim to establish a Fall Green Day to kick start involvement in year-long programs to promote caring for our Earth.
