Shady Hill School Cancels 1,008!
A BIG CONGRATS to Shady Hill School’s 4th grade in Cambridge, MA for breaking 1,000! 4th grade teacher (and new daddy!) Drew Mackay reports:
Once again our Catalog Canceling Challenge was a success with a grand total of 1,008! We tracked our totals weekly, made math problems with the number of catalogs canceled, and created a bulletin board for the rest of Shady Hill to see our results and to share our impact. It was a great learning experience for everyone and we continue to find catalogs to cancel. We plan to take this challenge on again next year, although we hope someday it won’t be needed.
We celebrated reaching our goal by having a “Green Day” where my colleagues and I dressed up and sprayed our hair green for a day. We also made bandanas for the kids and painted their faces. It was A LOT of fun! Unfortunately we couldn’t get a good aerial photo of our catalog sign that read, “Save the Trees” in which “Trees” was actually spelled out in the design of trees.
