Green Project Update
My partner, Hannah Zimmers and I have been working very hard to get our plants to sprout. After the many breaks (Spring break, long weekends, etc.) I think we have finally gotten our plants to sprout. We have large variety of plants, including parsley, oregano, cilantro, dill, and rosemary. We make sure that they have enough water but not to much water by watering them every few days and make sure they have enough water to survive the weekends. We also have them under a grow light so we know they have what they need to be kept inside without any sunlight. Our plans for the future are to put them into mason jars so they have enough room to grow and to eventually sell them.
Green Team Room
Green Team members are at it again!! New organization tips and tools have took place for easier sorting. We rearranged the room and labeled all bins and drawers. A bulletin board is also posted for daily newsfeed and to-do list. As a team we try to make our school the most clean and efficient we can be. While doing our single projects and big class projects we also recycle at the highschool and marshall elementary every week. A daily routine has been built through the year and it seems like its just go bigger! Were glad to help in any way for the world :)

Cleaning Greener
The weather is getting warmer meaning we don't have much time left until our summer break. There's seven weeks of school left and green team still has projects to get finished. Other than our own projects that we have all been working on, we have been busy with our group project on re-opening the Eureka movie theater. We have been working on assigning everyone jobs to do such as inventory, concessions, head of house, voice over, etc. and we've also been busy with finding a catchy name for the theater. On my own project with the greener cleaner, I have been having issues with straining the cleaner and getting only the juices into the container. I'll be starting my experiment to try to make a much easier way to strain the cleaner but still keep the little pieces of fruit out of it.
CeeD Wall Update
I have five sunflower seeds planted and I have six rosemary seeds ready
to plant. I'm giving the six rosemary seeds that are ready to Jayte
Hamilton and Lyndsey Williams for their Hangin Green project.
Movie Theater
Greenteam class is very busy with the warmer weather ahead we have many projects to accomplish! One of our newest projects is the reopening of the Eureka movie theater. We have many plans to the opening of this, as this is a big project for 8th graders to take on we are all strongly involved and very excited. Our peers and overall community is willing to help out in as many ways as possible. We each have our own jobs whether its getting equipment, cleaning, bills, or concessions as I'm head of concessions. I will be doing many things such as ordering food, food equipment, and giving applications to hire more workers. This is a big step for our community but will give some entertainment to our town as i strongly believe!! Please help support us whether its being a resource, donating, or volunteering!!
Hangin' Green's Growin'!
Lyndsey Williams' and my project, where we are growing hanging plants from recycled two liter bottles is becoming more and more successful each day! We have right now five grown plants, two plants sprouting, and seven plants in the process of sprouting. We sadly lost a plant over spring break, which apparently was uprooted after being watered at some point. Garrett Lazar has six germinated seeds, which are ready for us to take over and to be placed as a new addition to our hanging plants! We hope to plant those six started seeds sometime next week! Pictures of this project will be uploaded also next week!
"Green'' Project UpDate
Baby Got Plant is now flourishing like there is no tomorrow (for the second time)! Sage and I had to redo all of our herbs that were growing the first time because during the time of Christmas break they never got watered so many of the herbs died, and so we replanted twenty of them. Now the plants are ready to be transferred to mason jars so they can grow bigger and be sold once properly hung in place we will have three different sets to sell, two big sets and one small set as well.
