“…to take care of the earth because it is our home…”
Reciting our opening circle poem, “We Light This Candle”, is part of our daily Garden class routine. Educating our children about recycling and offering our community a solution to work toward a greener Garden is one of the ways we can add action to our words. Thank you for helping us be good stewards of the earth.

Thank you to Honeybee Korzen’s mom, Jazz Walton, for sharing her passion forsustainability and launching our successful plastic recycling drive. You saw Jazz’s presentation at Curriculum Days and may have seen her working hard behind the scenes to sort, weigh and load all of our recycled items. We appreciate you Jazz for inspiring change in how we see, use and reuse items that might have gone into the trash without another thought. We are excited to build upon what you started and continue to demonstrate to our students how we add action to our Opening Circle Poem, “We Light this Candle to remind ourselves…To take good care of the earth, Because it is our home…”
