Every year, each second grade House researches a different strand of environmental conservation and then creates a brief public service announcement to educate the other children at First Program. Each second grade house met with Kevin Slick, high school history teacher and environmentalist, to learn how Dalton is recycling, reusing and reducing.
Some classes choose to present their skits at a House 91 assembly, others make a video which is circulated via email to the other Houses, and this year they announce the weekly progress that FP is making regarding recycling efforts and they offer weekly "Green" tips. Each House has learned about composting and will visit an urban farm in Battery Park.
