The Primary Hall adopts an endangered species.

Endangered Species Report

by Pranavi Pratapa and Sridula Kallakuri

The primary hall has adopted another animal this year, and the winner is the snowy owl! The young-fives through second grade students voted, and it was officially adopted through the Defender of Wildlife organization in November, 2013. They considered other options too, like the penguin, and the tiger. But it was the snowy owl that won. The owl lives in the Aleutian Mts. of Alaska. It can also be found in eastern Manitoba, northern Quebec, and Labrador during breeding seasons. They can even be found in the United States! As far south as Florida, and as far north as Maine, the snowy owl makes its appearance occasionally. The snowy owl is an interesting creature; it’s no wonder the primary hall decided to adopt it!

Lights Off Initiative

South Arbor Green Team Lights off Initiative

The Green Team`s lights off Initiative has begun! The Green Team started lights off! When a Green Team member randomly passes by an empty room with the lights off, the member will put a small good job star. If a room has a light on when they are gone, they will receive a reminder that they should always have their lights out when they leave a room. When a class room has 5 stars they will receive a bigger star and the first five stars will be taken away.  The goal of the lights off initiative is to have every classroom to have their lights off when their room is empty. Also, it’s to have the school save money on electricity and to be green, of course!

2nd Annual Cell Phone Recycle Event

THE GREEN TEAM DID IT AGAIN!

 

The Green Team did it again! This year the South Arbor Community donated 61 cell phones and a handful of cell phone chargers, during our Cell Phone for Soldiers Event.

     

This event helped us get calling cards for soldiers, so they can call their families back home. Even we made the world greener, by recycling cell phones. Students volunteered to stand out on the curb in the morning and the afternoon to collect cell phones and so did teachers.

SHOUT OUT TO THE STUDENTS AND TEACHERS!
