Go Green Tustin

Earth Day!
Here's how Ladera Elementary is celebrating (send us your school's updates - info@tpsf.net- and we'll post them here):

• Ladera's second annual "Power Down and Turn off the TV Week" is meant to encourage students and their families to read, exercise or spend quality time with family rather than watching television.
• On Wednesday at lunch recess Ladera's "Green Team" will lead all students in a Campus clean up.
• Ladera will announce it's first ewaste drive. This is a great way to get rid of all your old electronic equipment and appliances, large or small, while benefiting our school. Look for information in your April 24th Friday Folder.
• The Garden Committee will be on hand Wednesday to display Ladera's organic garden and give instruction on non-toxic weeding and planting.
• And of course, Earth Day is also Walk to School Wednesday!
• Ladera's Green Team has been cited in various national and local publications. Please visit the Ladera website's Press Clippings page at http://www.laderaleopards.org/press-clippings/ to review the articles.
• Printer cartridges, cell phones, and plastic bottles are being recycled to benefit Ladera's 2009 5th grade activities. Visit www.tustin.k12.ca.us/ladera/documents/recycle.pdf for more information.
• This year will mark the beginning of "The Green Generation Campaign" which will also be the focus of the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day in 2010. Please visit www.earthday.net/earthday2009 for more information.
