LMK's first ever EARTH PERIOD!

Every March, the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) organizes an hour to be set aside to raise awareness about the need to preserve the Earth. The organization asks households and businesses to turn off their non-essential lights and other electrical appliances for one hour in order to emphasize the need to raise awareness about climate change. http://www.earthhour.org/
The R.E.E.F. club at the high school introduced a version of this called "Earth Period" where the last Friday of every month the school turns off all classroom electronics, including lights, computers, and smartboards, for one period. The custodial staff, also, contributes to the events by turning off every four out of five hallway lights during the Earth Period.
Our goal is to reduce Harrison's carbon footprint by educating the students and faculty to be more conscious about their everyday use of energy.

Our first Earth Period will take place on Friday, November 18th, during periods 8 & 9. We ask that you participate and turn off all classroom electronics to help make a difference.

Students Teaching Students!

Environmental club members prepared a lesson to educate other students about the LMK Learning and Growing Garden & the Environment. "Student teachers" taught lessons through fun and educational activities about the environment, the parts of a plant, and took classes outside to see current growth in our garden. Some lucky classes had the oppotunity to pick radishes, water the garden, help with fall clean up, and taste the radishes during a blinfold taste test!

Capturing the essence of Wellness Week!
