Pictures from 1999
Tussing Elementary in Pickerington, Ohio

Mrs. Dalgarn's and Mrs. Sheridan's first grade classes at Tussing Elementary in Pickerington, Ohio (a Columbus suburb) got involved in Earth Day 1999 by decorating bags from a local Kroger store. Part of a week long Earth Day Unit, this awareness campaign resulted in Trash Sculptures and a room recycling program instituted by the children. Many extended their school explorations and initiated recycling regimens at home. Earth Day extended into Arbor Day as one first grade class planted two trees on school grounds to celebrate and impact the future. As second graders, the students at Tussing Elementary will explore an extended Earth Day Unit. Thank you for including these pictures on your web site and linking the students at Tussing Elementary to global posterity.
Respectfully submitted,
Mrs. Jacquie Hurwitz
Student Teacher with Mrs. Dalgarn's First Grade
