| WHAT IS BEING DONE: |
Earth Day Groceries Project, a national program - was for Sickles Market to provide the school children with plain brown shopping bags, which they would decorate in art class at Point Road School with drawings and environmental messages, such as "Save Our Planet" or "Reuse This Bag." The market would then use the bags at checkouts on Earth Day, spreading the 'green' messages to its customers. |
| DATE/TIME: |
Friday April 12, 2013 at Point Road School |
| BY WHOM: |
Pre K through 4th Grade students, art teacher, music teacher Sickles owner and staff, Parent teacher organization, Education Foundation of Little Silver |
| PURPOSE OF ACTIVITY/EVENT: |
Our Earth Day Grocery bag project is an artistic effort to help foster in the students of Point Road School a love and respect of the land and environment. The students demonstrate their ability to take the foundation tools of creating art; line, color, shape, space, emphasis, etc. to create a thoughtful and informative work of art for the community.
Recognizing the educational benefits of the program, Bob immediately joined in, and for the past four years, customers of Sickles Market have enjoyed the artistic and informative shopping bags each Earth Day, which is April 22. But after that first year, Bob wanted to contribute more to the Earth Day effort and to help foster in the students a love and respect of the land and environment. And what better way than to give each student his/her own small piece of earths - a seedling in a pot - to nurture and grow.
For the past three years, Sickles has presented each student at Point Road School with an individual lettuce seedling in a recyclable coconut-fiber pot. In addition, Sickles has planted more seedlings in the school's courtyard, which, after 60 days, are harvested for the school's "Salad Harvest Day" lunch. |
