Come to H-B's new Lorax Club meetings in Eric's room during Wednesday TA time!
H-B is proud to announce the founding of a Lorax Club in honor of the sustainable development and espousal messages the children’s book-turned-movie provides.
The club will be headed by teachers Eric Young and Bill Vanevera. These teachers have been specially recognized due to their environmentally conscious stance, particularly in their conservation of paper when assigning students readings and activities.
The club intends to both celebrate the legacy and messages embedded in books written by Dr. Seuss, focusing on the environment and the preservation of our earth and trees as voiced by The Lorax.
The Lorax Club’s first activity will occur during the Earth Day Equity block this year, where they will present a variety of booths with the goal of exemplifying Eric and Bill’s ‘save the trees’ mentality. This will include presentations with varying information on sustainability and a live tree-planting demonstration, a potential new member and symbol of H-B, which will consist of the distribution of free saplings.
Graham has preemptively encouraged students to take these saplings across the school and replant them in areas they feel need reminders of resilience and advocacy, the same traits the Lorax exhibited when standing up for his Truffula trees. However, these trees may not be planted near Eric’s or Bill’s rooms, as Eric and Bill already epitomize the Lorax’s value of conservation. Students would be hard-pressed to find stacks of paper in either of these teacher’s classrooms.
Students are also incentivized to dye the water utilized in plant nourishment in order to match the colors of different floors of the building and resemble the vibrant Truffula tree pallet as seen in The Lorax.
The Lorax Club is open and welcomes any students who align with their message and wish to engage in the betterment of our own H-B community in regards to our treatment of the environment. The club will meet at TA/I on Wednesday afternoons in Eric’s room, 214. Let it grow!
Happy April Fools Day from the staff of the Current!
