Earth Week

Madison Elementary Celebrates Earth Week

Next week is Earth Week and we will be celebrating each day at Madison! Below is a schedule of the events we will be participating in as well as some items we might need for some projects! We would love for students to wear green as many days as possible next week to show our Green Spirit!

Power Hour- for an hour every day, each classroom will turn off their lights and power down any electronics.

Trash Pick-Up- During the week, classrooms will take time to pick up litter in the fields close to the school.

Juice Bag Recycling Program- Madison Elementary will be participating in a fundraiser that pays Madison 2 cents for every empty juice bag collected (to be continued throughout the year).

Use One- Students will be encouraged to use only one paper towel after washing their hands and one napkin at lunch.

Recycling Mosaics- Each classroom will create an earth friendly mosaic out of recycled materials. The mosaics will be displayed throughout the building. Please send in CLEAN recyclable items (pop tops, juice boxes, cans, plastic rings, etc that we can use for our mosaic. We will be creating our mosaic on Wednesday).

Pledge Tree- Each student will write an earth pledge on a leaf to be placed on Madison’s Earth Tree in the main lobby.

Trees for Everyone – On Tuesday, Arbor Day, each Madison student will receive a Red Bud seedling to take home and plant.

Book Swap- Students are encouraged to bring a book to school that they have read and are willing to donate. Students who bring a book will then be able to take a book. If your child will be participating please send a book by Tuesday.

Grade Level Earth Activities-Each grade level will participate in “Earth” activities throughout the week. We will be decorating tote bags with our hand prints!

I look forward to a great Earth friendly week!!!
