GREEN WEEK

and Earth Day throughout the

experiences. We began with
two contests.

On Wednesday, April 22 we celebrated Earth Day with Miss Anita Olson from Keep Loup Basin Beautiful. Miss
Olson shared recycling tips with our elementary and ended each session with a fun game of “Trash Sorting Relay.”
The students teamed up to sort through a bag of trash and recycle items in the proper bins. They also learned what
we can recycle and what is trash.
On Thursday we wrapped up our Green Week with our Green Fair. This was a flurry of excitement for all grades.
We offered green crafts such as garden marker rock painting, making bookmarks from old cereal boxes, creating air
freshener from organic oils and water, making bird seed hangers out of toilet paper rolls, peanut butter, and
birdseed, and planting dill to take home. We also were treated to some green snacks. We had scrumptious green
grape skewers and green smoothies which showed the students that kale can in fact be yummy if you mix it with
bananas and apples. Our final weigh in of recycling material was also done at this time. Last year as a whole school
we recycled 500 pound of recycling. This year our elementary students collected and recycled 1070 pounds of
recycling materials and filled our entire dumpster up. WAY TO GO! In just over one week our small school recycled
a dumpster of waste. Just think of the results if the entire community joined in! (idea for next year maybe?) The
winners of the individual classroom decorations were 3rd grade recycling 394 pounds of materials and the 1st grade
winning the “Celebrate Your Earth” recycling contest.
I had an absolutely amazing week and was so proud of our students. A big thank you to the many teachers, staff,
students, and community members who dedicated time or supplies for the fair.

The 7th-11th grade students recently participated in this year’s egg-drop project. The
students had to make a landing pad that would protect an egg dropped from the science room
ceiling without any cracks. The thinner the landing pad was, the higher the grade for the
project!! In order to get an A, students had to come up with a project less than 1” thick. This
year we saw a number of successful projects made from a variety of things, such as rice
(cooked), bread, peanut butter, Little Debbie Snacks, corn starch, towels, jelly, etc. In
addition to a grade, the thinnest projects in each class received various prizes for their efforts!!
