At Dickinson Elementary, staff and students are proving it's never too early to go green. From a project to turn milk cartons into benches (the only of its kind in the area), Dickinson kids raised $4,000 to transform the school's outdoor land into usable green space, while volunteering their time to personally complete the work. The breadth of their vision should inspire every potential do-gooder to get outside this spring!
Excerpt:
In addition to tearing out the concrete near all the entrances and then
replacing it with garden space that includes ground cover, shrubs and
trees, a number of benches and tables will be added to create an outdoor
learning environment. Moreover, large planters will be placed at each
entrance, the playground will be resurfaced and the playscape replaced
and relocated.
