Last year was so successful that this year's dual-theme for Earth Day Week is once again "Earth-Friendly Transportation" and "No Child Left Inside - Get Outside to Learn."

Starting April 15th and running all week through April 23rd, AES families are encouraged to take 'selfies' of any Earth-friendly transportation they engage in to get somewhere, which could include walking, bike-riding, carpooling, or taking a bus. Selfies should include everyone involved and should be sent to Mrs. Simon in the front office (michelle_simon@hcpss.org). She will print them out and put them on a bulletin board in our main hallway. Our goal is to fill up the board with pictures of our students and staff using Earth-Friendly ways to get around in our community. When you email your selfie to Mrs. Simon, be sure to explain the photo.

Thank you for participating in Atholton's Earth Day fun. As always, we will continue our Waste-free lunches, recycling, and our regular environmental instruction. Each class will take some time outside of its four walls to get some fresh air during instruction. Have a wonderful Earth Day Week; we hope you can get outside to enjoy NATURE, too!
