Location: Ashland, KY, USA
Bags decorated: 200
Comments: This was our first year decorating bags for the Earth Day Grocery project. A local grocery store donated bags and each student decorated a bag. It was a fun way for the students to share what they had learned about the importance of taking care of their Earth.The bags were returned to the grocery where they were used to bag groceries and share their special Earth Day messages with the community.

Comments: This year we participated again in this wonderful Earth Day project! The grocery employees were excited to see the colorful bags arriving! This year only the 4th and 5th grades participated ... the other grades were working on finishing up another art project when Earth Day arrived! But, as they finished their project, they were allowed to decorate a bag! Overall, we had a great time and thouroughly enjoyed ourselves! Thanks for your ideas and coordination!

Greetings from Veterans Park Elementary in Lexington, Kentucky! We have been
busy here participating in our first year of the "Earth Day Groceries Project,
1998"!
I am the art teacher here at Veterans Park Elementary and one of our teachers
made me aware of this wonderful project, which I in turn used it as an art
project for the entire school. Therefore, there will be about 650+ grocery bags
being circulated at our surrounding groceries on Earth Day! (The participating
donators are Kroger and Winn Dixie.)
The children (ranging from K - 5) have been very enthusiastic and interested in
this project. Many have wanted to do more than one bag with Earth Day
messages. I liked the idea from Montgomery County Solid Waste - they collected
decorated bags from 3 schools and then chose some outstanding designs to give
Earth Day prizes to the designer! I'll have to remember that for next year!
This has been a fun and rewarding project, THANKS A MILLION FOR THE IDEA!
Please keep me informed for upcoming events and definitely for April 22, 1999.
Peace and Happy Recycling,
Holly Barkley, Art Teacher (hbarkley@fayette.k12.ky.us)

I teach a primary class, grades 1 and 2 in Lawrenceburg, Ky. We are
very excited because it looks like our school, Emma B. Ward Elementary,
will be the first Kentucky school to register as participating in the
Earth Day project.
Our school has around 550 students in grades 1-5. So far we have
decorated 450 bags. The local IGA food market is across the street from
the school and they donated the bags. We are in the midst of statewide
testing in grades 3, 4, and 5 or we would have even better
participation.
The students have been very enthusiastic and many have asked to decorate
"any extra" bags. The grocery has been great. I picked up one bale of
bags and they said we can have as many more as we need.
My first and second graders are very excited and apparently all plan to
go grocery shopping on April 22nd so they can receive an Earth Day
grocery sack.
We look forward to seeing the final results. Thanks for encouraging
such a worth while project.

Fordsville Elementary School's students decorated a total of 295
sacks that were donated from the Foodland at Whitesville, KY. The students
will return the sacks to Foodland who will then in turn use them on Earth Day
to bag their customers' groceries. On Earth Day, the students and faculty will
plant shrubs, trees, and flowers to landscape the front of our school.
Students and teachers will also clean up the grounds around the school and the
playground by using the buddy system of older students being paired with
younger students.
