*  Your "Acts of Green" go a long way to make our world a better place!  Happy Earth Week!

Thursday:  

*  Good morning Doss Owls!  As you may know, tomorrow is the official international Earth Day!  The Doss Green Team would like to thank each and every one of you this morning for your participation all week in our school-wide Earth Week activities.  It is wonderful to see so many of you wearing your green in support of Earth Day.

 *  Yesterday, we were once again amazed by the amount of students, parents, and teachers out walking, bike riding, or carpooling, and arriving to school by school bus.

 *  Out of 740 Doss students, we had about 25% or 1/4th of our student population walk, ride your bike, or take the bus.  That’s almost 200 kids!  

 *  And now we’d like to announce the winning grade level...the grade level who had the most walkers, bike riders, school bus and carpoolers counted yesterday is...3RD GRADE!  Congratulations 3rd grade.  You just earned an extra excuse to get outside during the school day in May with a popsicle party!  

 *  And don’t forget...today is book-swap day for 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders.  Teachers you received tickets in your boxes today
