A Week of "Whatever It Takes!"

Highlights From The Week….

Room 5-Dreaming and Believing is happening in Room 5.  The kids are doing “Whatever It Takes!” to turn their playground dream into a reality. They believe in their project and are working hard to get it done! Next week they are meeting with their school principal to present their project idea.  So exciting!

Whatever It Takes Beach Cleanup- Saturday the sun was shining and the largest number of volunteers (750) showed up to participate in the 25th Anniversary California Coastal Cleanup Day.   Together we picked up more than 1,400 pounds of trash.  Our “Whatever It Takes!” group got to learn more about what is happening with The Great Pacific Garbage Patch from San Diego Coastkeeper. They showed us a jar full of Pacific Ocean water and as Kaela said,  “That sample from the ocean was amazing! There was so much garbage in that tiny little cylinder!”.  We also got to snack on treats 

from Ben & Jerry’s, Whole Foods, and even Whale Tails.  The event ended on a screaming note as we enjoyed a ride on the Belmont Rollercoaster!  Hope all of you can make it to the next event. 

 

B-5 Students- Congrats on being the next class chosen to do 'Whatever It Takes!'. Based on what Mrs. Victor has told me, you are a creative, intelligent, and lively group of 6th graders!  I'm looking forward to meeting all of you...and Bubbles. Have you decided what project ideas you are going to pitch to me?  Look around your school, community, and neighborhood and decide what YOU want to change! See you soon.

 

“Whatever It Takes!” TV Show- Ellen and I were in LA for dinner with a TV program developer from Mosaic.  Another meeting…another step in the right direction!

 

Have a fantastic week and keep those emails and comments coming,
