We’ve come to

Highlandtown Elementary-Middle School #215 in Baltimore City

to take part in USGBC’s Green Apple Day of Service.

hand model: Joan Goodson


Green Apple Day of Serviceis a volunteer event in which

people around the world will come togetherto support healthy, sustainable schools

by taking actionin their local communities.


Highlandtown #215 is

already a “Green School”

– and we want to make it

even greener.


There are ways Highlandtown

is green

inside

- like recycling


- and low-flow

0.5 gallon per minute faucets.

That feels good!


Highlandtown is also

green outside

- with trees to add to the urban canopy.


And there’s a playground just across the street


and planters with flowers to attract butterflies.


We would like to make the garden greener

--

by picking up trash,


-- pulling up weeds and removing old landscape fabric,


-- installing new landscape fabric, paving material, and seating,


-- planting more perennials and adding mulch,


-- and making this little corner of the worlda little greener.


There’s a lot of steps to get all this work done . . .


. . .

but together, we can accomplish a lot!


Won’t

you

join

us?
