The EagleNation Partners with The Sill in Bethesda To Make Healthier Humans (Eagles)
This Wednesday, an Eastern Alum and staff from The Sill (which is founded on the premise—plants make us happier, healthier humans) will be joining our Green Team to help repot classroom plants and teach students about plant care!
This effort is a part of Literally Green and is a student-led project designed to increase education and awareness to all staff and students about the importance of plants in our environment. The EagleNation team applied for and was granted funding to place an air-purifying plant in every school classroom and office used by students in order to increase awareness, social-emotional security of students and staff, and create an eco-friendly climate for our school.
The EagleNation team is receiving discounted plants through The Sill in Bethesda and purchased planters for each classroom. We think this is a great way to connect with our community and promote well being in our school. We are grateful to Ms. Mazlish and Ms. Peter for leading this effort to ensure our students have this opportunity!
