Green Hornets

By:

The Green Hornets program at Hutsell Elementary was established in 2014 in hopes of building an awareness of our local habitats and keeping the environment pollution free. We meet with our students at our local park, Mary Jo Peckham Park in Katy, Texas. We discuss different issues concerning the environment and then break up in teams to clean up all the trash surround Peckham Park. We met four times this year during Saturday mornings. We talk about issues such as aquatic invasive species, effects of pollution, monofilament recycling, and fish id. Together as a group of around 60 students, 15 staff members, and 30 parents we have cleaned up more than 50 pounds of trash over the course of the year at Peckham Park.
