The students at our school are from low-income families and live in an urban community setting. They have tons of energy and compassionate hearts. However, they don't fully understand the power they have to change the future. In celebration of Earth Day, all the students at our school will participate in an important project, based on Dr. Seuss's The Lorax. This story is about a boy who lives in a polluted world. He meets the Once-ler who explains to the boy that the world used to be beautiful, filled with fauna and "Truffulla" trees. The Once-ler had cut these trees down even though the Lorax, a creature who spoke for the trees, warned him of the consequences. The land became polluted and the Truffulla trees disappeared. Ending optimistically, the boy receives one last Truffulla seed and is encouraged to plant it so the trees can again flourish. Our students will read this story and receive their own "Truffulla" seed. They will recognize their true potential in saving our world today!
