Hey guys!! Can you believe summer break is almost over?? Well, we will be having our first meeting the end of August. As of right now, we will not be meeting at the civic center, due to budget cuts.

Each child needs to come up with a cool science experiment or concoction…ANYTHING science related.. plants, bugs….just something cool to demonstrate & explain to the club!! We don’t want duplicates, so just run your idea by me. Each year, you have fill out a new registration packet..sorry guys… I will have them at our August meeting.

Roots & Shoots

I am SO excited that our club will be joining Roots and Shoots, which is a program of the Jane Goodall Institute.

What is Roots & Shoots?

Roots creep underground everywhere and make a firm foundation. Shoots seem very weak, but to reach the light, they can break open brick walls. Imagine that the brick walls are all the problems we have inflicted on our planet. Hundreds of thousands of roots & shoots, hundreds of thousands of young people around the world, can break through these walls. We CAN change the world.
– Dr. Jane

The Roots & Shoots program is about making positive change happen—for our communities, for animals and for the environment. With tens of thousands of young people in almost 100 countries, the Roots & Shoots network connects youth of all ages who share a desire to create a better world. Young people identify problems in their communities and take action. Through service projects, youth-led campaigns and an interactive website, Roots & Shoots members are making a difference across the globe.
