SCA Corporation is an international paper products corporation with a long-standing commitment to sustainability, and they have presented us with a generous grant to implement a multi-faceted project called LESSONS IN SUSTAINABILITY: LEARN, PRACTICE, TEACH & SHARE.
Yesterday, Channel 6 News captured the Pen Pal & Popcorn Club as they planted organic greens. This is the first part of our learning about eating sustainably. Watch the news clip here:

In addition to growing and harvesting organic greens, RMS students will see an assembly by Franklin Institute on Nutrition and the Human Body, dissect our lunch trash to measure what we're throwing away, read THE OMNIVORE'S DILEMMA by Michael Pollan, SEEDFOLKS by Paul Fleischman, and help our pen pals in Bupala begin an organic garden through a project called 1,000 GARDENS IN AFRICA.
Throughout it all, we will continue to communicate with our pen pals, sharing our expanding knowledge about how to live greener and cleaner lives. Thank you, SCA, for allowing us to develop and exchange information with our friends in Uganda.
