Maspeth High School Green Club

The Maspeth High School Climate Action Day was off the charts! Many thanks to Bentley Seeds for making the day so special with giveaways of Earth Day seed packets, totes, clothing, and hats! It was all-in as the whole school community came together for the sake of health, wellness, and green spaces! We celebrated with a wellness message from Principal Alicanoglu, physical education lessons on the four areas of health, and health class lessons on pollinator garden planting. There was a specific focus on food and our future with a vegetarian, plastic-free lunch, lunchtime plant games and demos, fruit smoothies, and a special food production lab with Mr. Bell and Mr. Powell! Thanks as well to the Green Clubbers in charge of our “Climate Action Day Wellness Pledge”delivered to all 1200 MHS students, the “Wall of Feeling,” and the students and custodial staff who helped dedicate our brand new weather station, bird houses, and pollinator plants! There is so much to be joyful for as we plan for the final water-themed CAD on 6/12. See you there!

It’s almost time to celebrate health, wellness, and green spaces as only Maspeth High School can! Climate Action Day #3 is happening tomorrow!
