![]() Clean the Creek was a huge success! Take a look ... Kids for
Saving the Earth (KSE)KSE will meet once a month at 2:45 - 3:45 on: Tuesday, May 19, 2009 Afterschool Program
- Kids for saving the earth (KSE)![]() We believe that teaching our children the importance of good stewardship of our planet is invaluable. We offer after-school events to teach students various forms of recycling with the main message of Reduce, Recycle, Reuse. We reinforce this message with classroom presentations, an interactive butterfly garden, by organically recycling in the cafeteria, and by hosting a Clean Hedgcoxe event—where our families help to clean the school grounds and surrounding areas. Through education and promotional
events, we share the message of
recycling with our students and encourage them to implement these
practices at home. Through our efforts, and the support of our
Hedgcoxe families, we were able to increase our volume of residential
recycling last year by 10%. Last year, this program helped our
community and raised $1000 for Hedgcoxe!

How about showing a little bit of love for our planet? There are many ways you can help make the world a better place. We hear a lot about recycling, but what about conserving energy? Energy derives from power plants which ultimately pollutes the air. If we conserve the use of energy, there will be less pollution. Please remember to turn off unnecessary lights in your home. Always run a full load of laundry which will ultimately ensure you are washing less. Running the dishwasher is also more cost effective than washing dishes by hand. Conserving energy will not only help our planet, it can save you money too! ~ Tania Bailey, Environmental Chair P.S.
