(these are from past newsletters – check if they’re high school
groups & choose one):
The Singapore American School ECO Club helped to build a “Blind
Nature Trail” with Braille signs and arrange outings for the Singapore
Association for the Visually Handicapped. (Spring 2000 newsletter)
The Lake Country R&S group began a partnership with the local
food pantry. The students helped to collect and unload food and necessities,
and set up donation boxes. The project’s success has led to the
involvement of the entire school in working at the food pantry. (Spring

The West Hurley R&S group helped organize a food drive for Native
American families on the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota. They collected
16 boxes of food. Chief Perez, the director of the Inter-Tribal Peace
and Healing Center, did a presentation at the school about the food
drive, ceremonial objects, and rituals. (Winter 2000 newsletter)
The San Fernando R&S Club learned about the Navajo culture and
heard that some Navajo children have few material possessions. They
decided to collect and donate used bicycles to these children. The group
collected 19 bikes and held two workshops to repair them, using parts
donated from bicycle shops. Four members traveled to New Mexico to donate
the bikes to the Baptist Bible Navajo Church. (Winter 2000 newsletter)
One World, One Humanity R&S members at the Applied Learning Academy
planted a garden to grow vegetables for a local soup kitchen. They are
also tutoring immigrant students at their school. (Spring 2001 newsletter)
Richelieu Valley Regional High School Enviro-Club members planted
a garden of 500 tulip bulbs to honor World War II veterans. The students
also planted 80 lily bulbs, which they monitored for a month, then brought
to a senior’s home for Mother’s Day. The Richelieu Valley
Regional High School has achieved the JADE Green School Status, in honor
of their many environmental service projects. Congratulations! (Spring
