1998 Earth Day Groceries Reports - Hawaii
This year at Moanalua Elementary School, 350 students in 14
classrooms in grades 2, 3, 5, and 6 decorated 500 bags from the Salt Lake Longs
store. This project was one of the first multi-grade internet projects we
participated in. It allowed teachers,
students, parents, and the community to become more aware of environmental
issues affecting Earth. Students came up with titles and pictures depicting
ways to
save the earth. From discussing causes and solutions, the students can now
continue their roles as keepers of the earth.

Annotation by Janice Nishiki, Grade 2 at Noelani Elementary School
The students of Noelani Elementary School are earth conscious. All
grade levels focus on environmental awareness activities and studies
throughout the school year. In April, our grocery bag project to help
educate our community about the importance of Earth Day and to spread the
messages that we would like them to remember.
This year, 250 students from our school completed bags and they were
distributed by the Longs Drug store a block away from our school. Students
and their families were proud to see shoppers take home bags and to be a
part of helping to spread the word - Make Earth Day Everyday!
Noelani School is located in Manoa Valley on the island of Oahu. Our
valley is rich in Hawaii's history with historical homes and landmarks and
anyone who visits the valley is immediately struck by the beauty of lush
green mountains, colorful rainbows, and dramatic waterfalls against the
majestic mountainside. It is easy to understand why our students value the
importance of Earth Day!

1997 Earth Day Groceries Reports - Hawaii
Students from Noelani Elementary School in Hawaii proudly
deocrated 250 bags and delivered them to the Safeway Store in Manoa,
where they were distributed to customers on Earth Day. First, second,
and fifth graders participated inthis project for the first time this
year. They not only learned to become more Earth conscious but also
learned the value of sharing this learning with their community. Happy
students reported seeing their bags filled with groceries and going home
with customers.
Noelani School is located in the lovely green mountain valley of Manoa
on the island of Oahu. It is within walking distance of the University
of Hawaii Manoa campus and about a mile from the Ly on Arboretum. Thank
you for such a great project!

Twenty-three second grade children from Moanalua Elementary School in
Honolulu, Hawaii decorated 50 grocery bags from Salt Lake Safeway. Earth day
messages included, "Help Save the Earth", "Save Our Animals", "Save
Trees--Recycle", "Keep Our Earth Clean", "Don't Litter", "Don't Pollute",
with pictures of healthy sea animals, growing trees, trash cans for
rubbish, and clean earth.
This project tied in with an ecology story from their reader and they
learned about the importance of taking care of our earth and its
resources--their future.
Two children, a parent and I delivered the bags to Safeway on Monday,
April 21, 1997 and the assistant manager put them on the check out
counters that day. One child brought a bag to school the next day after
buying doughnuts for the class. : )
Looking forward to expanding this project to other grade levels next year.
