Changemaker Showcase for Earth Day
Live Oak showed its environmental changemaker spirit at the Earth Day Celebration.
Each grade level has dedicated time and energy to engaging in a Green Initiative Project and members of the Middle School Green Team were on hand Friday, April 21 to present the various projects to the school community in a gallery walk on the field at Jackson Park. Aside from the project showcase, the whole school gathered to sing an environmentally-themed version of Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” called “Green It”, while grades 1-4 performed songs of their own for the school. Finally, Groves worked together to make an Earth Day paper chain where students and staff brainstormed ways they could contribute to a cleaner environment.
