Bags decorated: 400
Comments: This was the first year that our small school participated in
this project. McKenzie School is in a rural community. Our school consists
of grades K-12 and we have approximately 375 students combined. Every student
was given a bag and allowed class time to decorate the bag. We followed
the directions and ideas that we obtained from this website. We incorporated
our own ideas as well. Needless to say, it was a great success and we intend
to participate next year. One of the highlights to our project was when
the PTA sponsored a night for parents to come to the school with their children
and decorate a bag together. This was a wonderful opportunity for parents
to interact in a school-sponsored activity with their children and promote
awareness of the Earth Day cause. I am including pictures of some of the
bags and students who participated. There is also a picture of my two chilren,
Katie and Kendall, holding the bag we decorated on parents night. I believe
the title was appropriate for all the schools and children who participated:
"Small hands helping a big world".
