International Spanish Language Academy (ISLA) students went on field trips to the Hennepin County Waste Transfer Station to learn about what happens to garbage and why it is important to reduce and recycle. The kindergarten through third grade students also visited the Trash Bash exhibit at the Minnesota Children’s Museum. Hennepin County staff gave presentations on waste reduction to all students. Students studied the “waste” material assigned to their grade level and also completed a waste reduction questionnaire as part of their homework. Then students educated their families at the Project EARTH Family Night. The event was a huge success with 420 people attending. The night kicked off with a fashion show of clothing and accessories purchased at second-hand stores, narrated and modeled by the fourth grade class. The students and their families toured classrooms to do various waste reduction activities. The sixth grade class visited two other Spanish Immersion schools to give presentations on Project EARTH. The ISLA Summer Camp featured a composting workshop where kids made a compost bin to take home.
