Gator Task Force
Thank you to everyone who attended Go Green Night on Friday. Our Gators did a great job pledging to Leave Only Their Footprints Behind in 2012. We would like to thank the parents who sent in empty two liters for our recycled crafts. We would also like to thank the local businesses and individuals who donated their time, knowledge, services and products to make our Go Green Night a huge success. Thank you to Enjoy Life Foods, GBUSA, Kings Greenhouse on Stallings Rd., Master Gardener - Peter Larrimore, Organic Plant Health in Matthews - Billy Styles and Southern Styles Nursery on Rea Rd.
This weeks kicks off our 2nd Annual Go Green Awareness Week. Each day is filled with activities to teach our Gators to be a little "greener". While most of the week's activities will be built into the school day, this week will have the greatest impact if you reinforce the theme at home.
Tuesday Pollution Solution Day - Carpool, ride the bus, walk to school. Cars OFF while waiting for carpool line to start. Also, trash free lunch.
Thursday Plant a Seed Day: Care instructions for the seed are attached and can also be found at http://www.antioch.ucps.k12.nc.us/ and click on the green "All Important Announcements" link. Also, trash free lunch.
Friday Energy Education Day: Learn about electricity and energy and how to conserve it. Also, trash free lunch.
