Age:   1st - 6th Grade

What is Earth Club? We are a group of 40 kids who will be "Defenders of the Earth". We will learn about topics ways to help the planet through discussions, hands-on activities and demonstrations. We will learn how to be a Defender in our schools and our homes.

How do we join? Club size is limited to 40 kids. If you would like your child to participate, please email whitlome@comcast.net for a permission slip . We can only accept 40 students! Because we are a small club, it is important that children attend all meetings (except when off track). Space fills up fast!

What will we do at meetings? Each meeting we will have a different topic to focus on as well as a snack. Last year we made "junk" art, built mini-composters and experimented with single-serving versus bulk packaging snacks. This year we have lots more exciting fun planned including creating our own garden and learning about endangered species!

Have questions? For a permission slip, email Mandy Whitlock at whitlome@comcast.net . For questions, you can email Mandy, Mrs. Matousek (kate.matousek@dcsdk12.org) or Mindie Sivey ( mindiesivey@yahoo.com ).
