Painting April 16th

On April 16, students were able to paint their rain barrels. Students used purple and white eco-friendly paint to decorate their barrels. Many students decided to write their names on the barrels as a clear indicator that they had been involved in this process. Afterwards, left over paint was donated to the school.

Reporters from the Daily Star and the Advocate were present to interview and photograph this experience. Reporters noted detailed information about the formation of this project including the implementation of projects, the benefits of this project and future goals for 'Imagination Envirostation. Students were able to share their environmental knowledge with reporters. Students spoke about the benefits of planting trees on their campus, the purpose of using natural fertilizer like pine straw, and the possibility of owning a environmental company. Students displayed a great deal of environmental knowledge, which suggest that they have been actively listening and retaining information discussed in prior sessions.

During this session, students were given handouts that outlined how to care for their trees. Students were instructed to distribute the flyer's to their peers.
