Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

We start each Green Team Meeting discussing ways to help make ours a more eco-friendly school.

My Green Team is a group of dedicated 4th - 6th grade students that stay after school to reduce our school's carbon footprint.

They all qualify for free breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner. Life is not always easy for my students, but they come to school with a smile on their faces each day and a thirst for learning. They leave each day feeling proud of what they've accomplished.

My Project

My Green Team has been creating a bird and butterfly garden in front of our school for the past three years. We have planted some beautiful flowers to attract birds, butterflies and bees. We also made bird feeders out of recycled materials to hang in the area. This project would add a much needed bird bath to our garden to attract birds and also beautify the area. The bird seed would be a tremendous help because we are always need seed to refill our feeders. The watering cans would make it so much easier for my students to go out and water our more delicate flowers. This project will help us to maintain Michigan Green School Status again for the 2016-2017 school year.
