Trash-A Whale of a Problem!


The first grade classes at Ryan's elementary school have been collecting trash at the beach since the beginning of the school year. They have been learning about the impact of trash and pollution to our oceans and animals. It has been a wonderful experience that culminated in a program put on by the First Graders singing whale songs and unveiling "Little Gray." Little Gray is a whale created by the kids and a local artist made with all of the trash the kids collected. Little Gray will soon live at Legoland's Sea Life Aquarium. This was an amazing project!






Lydia's Brownie Troop participated in Thinking Day. Thanks to the help and donations of Uncle Phil and Aunt Martha, the troop created a fabulous display about Malaysia. The girls had a great time, and learned about many different countries. I am the Troop leader this year, but it is really the work of many moms coming together. Thank you to all the helpers this year that are making it a very special experience for our girls.
