R.E.A.C.H EARTH DAY CELEBRATIONS
🌏 🌍 🌎 🌏 🌍 🌎
LOTS OF FUN + LOTS OF LEARNING

A HUGE THANK YOU to Ms Sima Zaza, Mr Trent Lira and the R.E.A.C.H Club students for an inspiring and informative Earth Day Event! We learned how to make bags using old T-shirts, sort trash and recycling, committed to care for trees at the Roberts International Garden, walked a (lot less than) a mile in the shoes of people who have to carry water to their homes, in so many parts of the world, and so many more fun and educative activities. Thank you also to the volunteers who helped set-up, clean-up and assist at booths! We took home lots of ideas on how to make the Earth a cleaner place! 

SUPPORT THE 5TH GRADE SERVICE PROJECT

Help support our Roberts 5th Grade Service Project benefiting the Emergency Aid Coalition! We will be assembling 500 Manna Bags and need help from the Roberts Community in obtaining all of the items required. Click HERE for details and to sign-up to donate.
