Earth Day

Today AISD celebrated Earth Day, which started by walking to school. Kindergarten joined 2nd grade students and parents in a walking school bus from Gulshan 2 into Baridhara, and the turnout was impressive. See the short clip below of our group in Gulshan, but keep in mind that many more met us as we entered Baridhara. Thanks to all who joined in!

This morning we also had an all-school assembly in which we learned more about ways we are harming our environment, followed by ways in which we can help keep our planet healthy. Class 2L has been working diligently to collect data on single-use plastic water bottles and has been taking action to spread the word about why single-use plastic water bottles are incredibly harmful to our planet. Please take a moment to watch the video they created to raise awareness:

2L's action inspired us all to be more aware of the waste we create, especially in regard to our consumption of single-use plastic water bottles. Thanks to their action we were given very exciting news when Mr. Boerner, our superintendent, announced that AISD will now officially ban the use of single-use plastic water bottles on campus. Thank you, 2L, for inspiring us all to take action to make lasting change!
