= SGS Celebrates Earth Week =

Earth week at SGS was exciting. On Monday, our Student Announcer led us in prayer to ask blessings on our activities. On Tuesday, we saved electrical energy and used our own energy to create an animal from recycled materials. Our school was in 'blackout' mode, but our hands, minds and artistic ability were combined and we dazzled our Art teachers and Mrs. Murray with our finished products. We celebrated the fact that we have the most efficient secretary in the whole Archdiocese on Wednesday. Then, the gardening talent of students from Grades K through 8th was displayed. 8th graders began by 'tilling the soil' on Wednesday afternoon, blisters reflect the extra effort they used. Sixth and Seventh graders proved that playing in the mud never gets boring, as they dug the holes and readied the space for the actual planting by the 4th and 5th graders. Kindergarten and Grade 1 filled watering cans and saturated the new plants so that their roots can gather all the nutrients from the soil. Finally, our 2nd and 3rd graders spread mulch to protect our new plants from weed growth. Heavenly Father, we are grateful for the beautiful planet and we will continue to do our best to protect the earth, this week and every week.
