Letter to Families: Extended Memorial Day Weekend

The students in the Thompson/Lopez and Whitbeck/Lopez classes recently celebrated Earth Day on April 22, 2024, with an increased focused on the appreciation of beauty and excellence for the Positivity Project. The classes enthusiastically researched and discussed reasons why it is extremely important to take care of our environment and specific ways we can all care for the Earth and make it more beautiful. The students also discussed a variety of environmental agencies that exist in order to protect the Earth. They learned that within these agencies, there are a variety of professionals who have unique interests, specialized training, and specific experiences regarding the environment. The classes acknowledged the excellence these individuals demonstrate each day as they fulfill their vital roles as environmentalists. The students viewed the Scenic Hudson website and later wrote personalized letters to several of the Scenic Hudson staff members in order to thank them for their dedication and excellence. These letters were delivered to the Executive Team and others by Mr. Lopez, who is the current Executive Director of Science, Advocacy, and Policy for Scenic Hudson. Thank you, Scenic Hudson, and to all of those incredible professionals and volunteers who spend time each day protecting our Earth!
