The sixth grade students will be learning about human environmental impact and how they can help as part of science this year. During this study, they will have the opportunity to participate in service learning, an educational approach that combines learning objectives with community service in order to provide learning opportunities that help tackle real-world problems in one’s community.
The sixth grade has partnered with GotSneakers, an organization that helps keep sneakers out of landfills by recycling or reusing them. Each pair donated can earn their class money, which they will use to help with species conservation. Examples of how they may use the funds include:
- Donations to wildlife centers
- Symbolic species adoptions
- Materials to build bird boxes
Please help the sixth graders by donating any size sneakers you no longer want.
Starting next week, a bin will be placed in the breezeway during the last week of every month. Please place your unwanted pair of sneakers in the box during that time. Any size and brand of sneakers are welcome. But, sneaker-style shoes only, please!
