A broken down bus, Cumulus clouds and high winds could not stop the 3rd graders from the ALERT program in Columbia. They made it to Charleston! The students were able to tour the harbor with Sandlapper tours and collected shells on Folly Beach. The students also made some great s’mores in the solar cookers they made from pizza boxes! The students left Charleston with a full stomach, a bag of goodies and a new perspective.
We are getting ready for another big week. On Wednesday, Ian and the LEEP bus will be taking CYP on a tour of Noisette. This Thursday WOW (Web of Water) will be aired on ETV’s Southern Lens at 10pm! Be sure and watch as Ian and his team come down the Heritage Corridor.
Friday, we have a huge day. Another great group of students will be here from Columbia. Then Friday night we will be at the Blackbaud Stadium to watch the Charleston Battery take on Minnesota Thunder!! This is a part of Charleston Battery Go Green Night, so get the family together and go have some fun!! The events begins at 630pm.
Saturday and Sunday LEEP will be at Whole Foods Earth Day Event. Come on out and see what we have planned for the kids! We will also be working with Trident United Way’s Youth Service Day. The LEEP bus will be picking up volunteers at North Charleston High around 830am. They will be heading to Brittlebank Park for a clean up of the park and river!
