Earth Week
April 22-25, 2024
Beginning at dismissalJoin us for informative and hands-on Earth Week festivities. The Bryan Innovation Lab will host a series of programs following dismissal. The goal is for all of us to feel more connected to our natural environment and understand how we can make small changes to care for this place we call home.MONDAY: BRYAN INNOVATION LAB SERVICE DAYThe Bryan Innovation Lab is a model of how the built and natural environments can coexist. In this year of service, help participate in maintaining spaces and learn about our best practices. We’ll have a range of simple-to-strenuous activities, with a focus on removing invasives around our retention pond. This is a student-led project by Riley Carter ’26. Families can also participate by creating pieces for a ceramic mural created by this year’s artist-in-residence, Merenda Cecelia.
TUESDAY: ZERO WASTEHow can we make small changes to be more responsible in the production and consumption of materials? We will explore how we can reduce our waste by creating DIY cleaning products with safe (and delicious-smelling!) ingredients. Participants will meet with staff from Eco Inspire, a local zero-waste refill shop that will highlight their products and services.WEDNESDAY: COMPOST THE MOSTThe Steward School has been making a big push to reduce our waste through composting. We invite you to meet our composting service, Natural Organic Process Enterprises (NOPE), to learn about the process of industrial composting. We will also highlight student research on the different types of composting that your family can do. Families can also build and take home their own worm composting kits, and we’ll give away compost tea to use in the garden! Please register if you plan to attend and make a kit.
THURSDAY: NATURE PLAY SCHOOL EXPOWhile you’re at the Spring Social, pop on down and check out the Bryan Lab’s Nature Play School, which takes place every Thursday during the school year.
