Parents,
Just to clarify for everyone, there is NO PTA MEETING ON FEBRUARY 15TH.

This spring, more than 200 third-graders in Goochland County Public Schools will make a difference for the environment with Project Plant It!, a program developed by Dominion to educate children and plant trees. Earlier this year, teachers received a comprehensive kit packed with creative lesson plans, posters, stickers and certificates. Each student will receive a tree seedling to plant at home in celebration of Arbor Day, April 29. The kit and tree seedlings are provided by Dominion at no cost to the schools. The website, http://www.ProjectPlantIt.com, features videos about trees, an interactive vocabulary game, a Forest Adventure Word Scramble and a fun tree trivia quiz. Also, a new online Activity Guide is filled with many family-friendly projects, such as “Be a Scientist” and “Be an Artist,” to help children get out of the house or classroom and into the dirt! All of the teaching materials align with the state SOLs for Language Arts, Science, Math and Social Studies. Throughout the Richmond region, more than 10,000 students are enrolled in the program for 2011. Since 2007, Dominion has distributed more than 100,000 trees in seven states through Project Plant It! That’s equivalent to 250 acres of new forestland, according to the Virginia Department of Forestry.
