Earth Day celebration at SCIS
Print Edition
Students at Shanghai Community International School know what it means to go green. In celebration of Earth Day, pupils from the early-childhood education program to Grade 5 participated in an entire week of school-wide events and activities from April 20 to 24. These included making hats out of recycled materials, pledging to help protect the Earth, carrying their own trash for a day and turning off all lights for an energy-saving hour. Each grade level also worked hard inside their classrooms to create their own green initiatives.
The culminating event for the week was an all-school assembly and each grade level presented their Earth Day project during a gallery walk. The assembly concluded with a highly popular recycled fashion show, put on by the Grade 5 students. This group of students strutted their stuff down the catwalk to show off their creative and eco-friendly fashion ensembles, made entirely of recycled materials. The SCIS Earth Week is a collaborative effort organized by the school’s Green Team and Earth Week Committee.
Students and teachers work all year long to help keep SCIS green. Students’ sharing their ideas and practices about what it means to act in environmentally friendly ways is a giant step toward embracing a greener lifestyle and conserving our planet.
