We had such an AMAZING day at Sugar Maples. We owe a huge "Thank You" to Miss Rita and her students for everything they did to make this a fantastic and memorable experience for us.
We will be studying a unit on protecting the environment and we couldn't have asked for a better way to kick it off! Today's trip to Sugar Maples was part of our "Bring Your Own Bag" campaign to reduce the number of plastic and paper bags we use when shopping....and inspire others to do so as well. The kids did a beautiful job designing and then painting their reusable canvas bags. The messages and designs the kids put on their bags are inspiring and it is great to see their excitement about being an active part in protecting the world we live in. I couldn't have been happier or prouder of the kids and the behavior they displayed today. Well done Team!

Dear Friends,
ReplyDeleteYou are an AWESOME class. We had a wonderful day with you. You were a pleasure working with. Your designs for your bags were so thoughtful and executed in such a neat and creative manner.
Thank you so much for the card, we love it and have it hanging in our classroom. Thank you for inviting us to be part of such a great program, we are using our bags as well and enjoyed creating them.
You are extreamly blessed to have such a wonderful teacher, Mr. Fletcher is great!
Have a great day!
