Volunteers will assist the JAYCEES in Kent County, to host, coordinate and implement, the annual EARTH DAY activities under the auspices of Department of Environmental Management and the Rhode Island Earth Day Committee.

The JAYCEES and volunteers will carry out routine landscape chores such as raking and bagging leaves, picking-up scattered debris, shoveling mulch and preparing extensive cultivation beds for Spring plantings.

Requirements: Volunteers should be prepared to contribute a couple of hours of general landscape-type tasks out in the fresh air, working with a small group of participants in cleaning-up and ensure proper preparation for greening-up the JAYCEE Corridor & Arboretum, which forms the portal entrance to the state Senator Donald E.

STAGE 1 of our Go Green Event is a Display My Art project. The Fine Art teachers have been hard at work having students create beautiful works of arts on the theme “Spring into a Greener Future”.

STAGE 2 of the Go Green Event is a BATTLE OF THE CAMPUSES. The challenge is to see which campus can collect the most Capri Sun pouches and items for the Recycling program (see list in box). The competition starts March 21, 2011 and ends on April 22, 2011 (Earth Day). The winner will be announced on May 1st. The campus who collects the most recycled items on the list will receive all the moneys raised for pre-selected campus improvement. Special containers will be placed on each campus.

STAGE 3 is a Dads Challenge. The elementary children and their fathers, granddads, uncles, older brothers, male role models are challenged to Go Fly a Kite! by helping students design and build kites using recycled and reused materials. The kites must fly. The secondary campuses are challenged to Go Float Your Boat by helping students to design and build boats using recycled and reused materials. All entries must be brought to the school on Friday, April 22, 2011. Judging will take place in conjunction with the STEPPING INTO MANHOOD RETREAT on Saturday, April 30, 2011.

To help each household to also Go Green, we will also have Going Green information packets for parents and students with information on subjects such as weatherization, recycling, clean energy, tax incentives, etc.

Sponsorships are always welcome and we would love to have businesses and other organizations join in our recycling challenge. Contact Jacqueline Bell at lsocpto@yahoo.com
