ANNOUNCEMENTS !

GreenAllies makes a video for schools 

in Costa Rica

GreenAllies students wrote and created their own instructional video for high schools in Costa Rica.  The goal is to introduce them to GreenAllies and to provide leadership in training them how to create summer camps for kids.  GreenAllies students not only created the video, but then translated it into Spanish!

Congratulations to the GreenAllies Student Leadership Team for another amazing community service event.  Christmas Tree Recycling was a success!
