The Green Lions of Liberty are back!
Once a club back in 2013, four awesome 6th graders (Morgan Williams, Bella MacDonald, Savannah Fennell, and Braden Tricola) attended the Clark County Green Summit on November 9th and came away inspired to start the club up once more.The club’s focus this year will be on “Trashing the Trash” around Liberty, and encouraging students to show their “P.R.I.D.E.” – “Properly Recycling is Demonstrating Excellence.”
The club is partnering with Mrs. Barnes as their advisor, but as she is currently committed to Roaring News and Science Olympiad after school, the club needs a parent or community member to lead weekly after school meetings to meet their green team goals.
Liberty is a Bronze level green school…let’s get to silver and beyond!
Please contact Mrs. Barnes by email if interested: [email protected]
