Name, Title and Phone Number/ of School Contact Person: Julie Beesley, STEM Fine Arts Teacher, (561) , Julie.Beesley@palmbeachschools.org II. PROJECT INFORMATION A. Participating schools will be furnished with copies of Keep America Beautiful s Waste in Place curriculum a materials such as books and other resources emphasizing litter control, recycling or environmental concept Describe ways in which the student s existing curriculum can be enhanced with these materials. Describe a current school programs or clubs that promote environmental messages. You may provide additional narrative a separate piece of paper. The school s curriculum can be enhanced by the copies of Keep America Beautiful s Waste in Place by giving teachers another resource to enhance student learning. The student must realize how important it is to keep our world with sustainable. Textbooks and lectures are a small part of how students need to learn. If me do not enhance their learning with other recourses and add in real life application of the classroom learning then the students will not have the vital tools they need to become The environmental club does campus clean ups and participates in local beach clean ups. Currently we have involved parents to donate additional butterfly plants to add to our garden. They will assist us along with students to plant them. Our school has automatic shut off of computers at the end of each day. Teachers or students turn off all technology equipment and lights before leaving the room. Students are taught and aware of water conservation. They make sure to shut off faucets when not in use. Classes across all grade levels have walked to nearby field trips. We recycle plastic, aluminum, paper, ink cartridges, cell phones, and shoes. Bins are placed in cafeteria and strategic areas in the school. Every copy room had large paper bins. Every classroom has paper and plastic bins for recycling. All families are involved in this process. The environmental club students monitor the large recycling bins and take them to recycling area for the truck to pick up. The environmental club also uses jars, cans and bottles to make pieces of art. Our SECME team uses plastic lids, hangers, bottles etc. to build cars, rockets, and other engineered products. All school newsletters are sent via to parents unless a parent requests a hard copy. All teacher documents are kept in a resource folder on google drive. Most teachers have electronic lesson plans. Teachers have a recycler on job chart and these students take classroom bins to larger bins located throughout the school. Parents and environmental club students meet at local beach for community clean up. Campus clean ups are done every other month at environmental club meetings. The solid waste authority has come to do presentations and recycle old paper to make new paper. A recent study by researcher Faber-Taylor and colleagues found that the symptoms of ADHD were relieved by time spent in nature (2001). This study found that children were able to concentrate, complete
2 tasks, and follow directions after spending play time in natural, especially green, settings. At Freedom Shores Elementary we would like our students to benefit from the positive effects of nature.

Seeds/Plants vegetables herbs flowers Trash Can Composter Butterfly Garden Mulch Plants Beds fronting portables Mulch We are very excited about this project and we know that gardening offers hands-on, experimental learning opportunities in a wide variety of lessons, including the science, language arts, visual arts and nutrition. We have a wonderful team that is already putting some action of getting supplies in place. Concrete Blocks Brian used to work in construction and knows a demolition firm that might be able to give us the blocks provided we transport them. Soil We will be asking Amerigrow in Delray Beach if they ll donate and/or reduce cost of the soil anything. Dale Barnhart said he would check to see if the district could get us some soil at a discounted price or free. Mulch still looking for a source New Green Idea We need to start sheet mulching immediately. Sheet mulching invites more worms and prevents beneficial anaerobe loss from the soil. So, we don t need to till. Sheet mulching is inexpensive and extremely earth friendly. In our garden area, the entire area, we cut the grass as short as possible and then cover it with cardboard (free!!!), double layer, and then water it periodically. The cardboard kills the grass, provides a food source for the worms
9 and maintains the integrity of the dirt under the grass. When we are ready to place the blocks we put them right on the cardboard, add the soil and plant. Over time the grass will die and the worms will be munching up and through and into our garden. The mulch can go right on the cardboard on the paths, the cardboard means less weeding. Every year you add another layer of cardboard to keep the system weed free and healthy. We stopped by a cardboard dumpster and pulled out a few dozen boxes. It will take a lot of cardboard initially. Seeds Gray Mockingbird generously volunteered to let us come next Saturday to plant some seeds in trays that they ll keep in their misting tent until we are ready to plant the seedlings. This would really help us get the garden producing more quickly as time is ticking! Andrea said they would have seeds for us to use and can bring some of our own too. How fantastic is that? We ll need to bring seed trays and potting mix. They d love to have FSES students on site to help!
10 In addition, we will participate by meeting at Boynton Beach Oceanfront Park and cleaning up the beach during the Great American Clean Up Day. Our group consists of Environmental Club students, parents and teachers. Estimated number participating: students 906 staff 5 parents or other volunteers 4 C.
