2011 at CHEYENNE TRADITIIONAL SCHOOL, Scottsdale, Arizona
Librarian Teresa Spotleson (with me in the picture) hosted a fantastic Earth Day event! I was there 2 days so I could see all the classes K-8! The students had done their research and were very knowledgeable about the environment so it was no surprise that it was a tight race for which conservation organization should receive my A4ED donation.
World Wildlife Fund slid into first place just as I was about to go on-air to announced the winner on the school news. I believe in the power of these kids to shape a better, greener future for us all.
Thanks Cheyenne!
2010 at RHODES JR. HIGH WORLD STUDIES ACADEMY, Mesa, Arizona
Rhodes was absolutely fantastic! The school went all out for the ultimate Earth Day celebration. The students did an extraordinary amount of research into the organizations they were voting between. They covered several walls with posters about the nominees, and even ran video PSAs throughout the day sharing details about each organization. In the end, Friends of the Osa won the paperless polls and a check was written to support their efforts of sea turtle conservation on Costa's Rica's Osa Peninsula. The kids cheered!
Thanks Rhodes... you rock!
2009 at KYRENE DE LOS CERRITOS, Phoenix, Arizona
$750 was donated to the Ocean Conservancy (www.oceanconservancy.org) in honor of the students at Kyrene de los Cerritos! The Ocean Conservancy noted the contribution in their quarterly publication (see media page) and sent the school a thank you along with a year's membership to their organization and classroom reading materials.
