Earth Week is Coming!
Greene Students to “Save the World, Feed the Birds” for Earth Week!
The Eco Team and Student Council will present 2 days of activities celebrating this year’s Earth Week theme, “Save the World, Feed the Birds!”
“Save the World Day” will be held on Thursday, 4/20, during which students will sharpen their 3 Rs skills by participating in a waste-less lunch, creating a sculpture from old toys, and making origami “flappy” birds from the Eco Team’s stash of one-sided flyers.
“Feed the Birds Day” will take place the following Monday, 4/24, when the school will be visited by 3 feathered ambassadors from RaptorInc.org, a local non-profit that rescues injured birds of prey and returns them to the wild. Raptor Inc. will also present Greene School with a certificate of sponsorship for a particular bird chosen by the student body, and the kids will make simple bird feeders to bring home.
All activities will take place during lunch and recess.
Here are ways you can help:
Ask your kids to pack or buy their lunch responsibly (e.g. using reusable containers) on 4/20
Help them find an unwanted small plastic toy to bring on 4/20
Remind them to vote for the bird they wish to sponsor on Student Council’s Google form
Come in and help! Contact Sarah Newman (snewman1@cinci.rr.com) to volunteer either or both days, or for more information about Eco Team

Camp Invention is coming to Sycamore Community School District!
Since 1990, Camp Invention has taken summer fun and transformed it from ordinary to extraordinary!
In partnership with the National Inventors Hall of Fame, Edwin H. Greene Intermediate School is pleased to offer the nationally-acclaimed Camp Invention program to children entering grades 1st-6th. It’s an exciting, weeklong summer adventure with lessons that explore connections between science, technology, engineering and innovation. Children will work together to seek solutions to real-world problems and sharpen critical 21st century learning skills while rotating through several fascinating modules. The week begins on June 5, 2017 with Chris Gutermuth serving as Director of the Launch program!
Here is how young innovators will be spending their time:
Engaging creative thinking to design and build their own duct tape creations
Experiencing the power of rocket science by building and launching rubber band rockets
Exploring aerodynamics to blast water rockets made from plastic bottles more than 50 feet in the air
Taking apart nonworking machines and devices to investigate their inner operations
All activities give participants the opportunity to explore, discover and achieve while having fun!
Local educators will facilitate program modules and enthusiastic high school students will serve as Leadership Interns ensuring that one program team member is in place for every eight children.
Register on or before March 20, 2017 using promo code Discover25 to receive $25 OFF the base price of $225. Every registration includes a complimentary Camp Invention t-shirt. Availability is limited, so visit www.campinvention.org or call 800.968.4332 to secure your child’s spot today!
