Earth Day – Next Monday, April 22 is National Earth Day! The Green Team is inviting teachers who teach Skills to sign up and participate in a school clean up. Also, we are asking that we reduce the use of electricity and turn off any lights in room that is not being used or teachers can opt to teach with the lights off. Monday is supposed to be a beautiful sunny day so the sun light might be enough to light up the room! The Green Team will also be sending out some videos that you can show your classes during Reading Period on Monday.
