A Success!

On April 21, Katherine and I set out to Hafford Central School to celebrate Earth Day with them a day early. We started out the day at 10 AM by setting up the ground and surface water models and projector for our presentation. Each class from grade 1 to 6 came in for a 20 minute presentation and explaination of our models. We gave away tote bags, stickers and "Water Use in Your Home" booklets. I think its safe to say not only students, but staff members also gained a bit of knowledge. The afternoon consisted of more presentations, and awards to the grade 5 winners of the Art Contest. The kids did a great job, but we could only pick 3 winners. We also brought a game of Recycle Jeopardy with us to play with the highschool students. After some moaning and groaning about how hard the questions were, and how uneven the teams were (students were put into teams based on odd and even birthdays...sounds pretty fair to me) the students finally started to get into it with team "Lemonade" winning. We also handed out some wordsearches that no team was able to complete by the time we were finished. Here we also handed out more stickers and booklets. It was a great day, both students and staff were happy, and Katherine and I were exhausted! It was well worth it and we were invited back for next year!
