Kids on a mission on Air.




The 8th grade Students in the Science Club read Magic School Bus from DEQ on Deisel air pollution to younger elementary students. The students also tested air samples from indoor and outdoor sources around the parish concluding that indoor air was worse than outdoor air as well as identifying what is pollution and how to come up with workable solutions to help fix the problem in the Lake area. Then, they created cartoons and submitted them to the American Press, the Mayor, and the Governors office.The Club President and Vice Presedent atteneded a talk on Louisiana's Environment.

What's in your air?



Students in the 8th grade Science Club wrote and executed a skit at the PTC meeting to encourage the community to clean the air one bulb at a time. Student participants encouraged the audience to change a light and save the world. The save-the-world pledge was distributed to the audience. Students promoted the pledge by saying they could get 100 pledges and have worked towards that goal. The school webmasters posted the pledge on the school website home page. (http://www.stmcs.com/) Presently, we have collected 103% of that goal.
