[Fuusm-l] BRIDGES Summer Program

[Darryl Ting]

FUUSM Family,

This summer the BRIDGES program will be focused on Global Climate 
Change.Included in the program will be Sunday activities (usually 
projects and handouts) on how to reduce the impact of Global Climate 
Change and a summer-long Home checklist for the kids to do.This summer 
we are trying out a point system for participation and prevention 
accomplishments, and a celebration and awards at the end of the program. 
We encourage the kids to bring their friends …. It’s always more fun 
with friends.

It will be very helpful to our planning if parents could give us an idea 
when their kids plan to participate, so we can have enough materials and 
adults to help.

Our planned schedule for the summer is:

June 26Introduction to Global Climate Change - Tent Greenhouse – Darryl

July 3Composting Kitchen Waste - Worm Composting Demo –Dawn Hewitt

Note: Aug. 21 Marietta College Planetarium Program

Aug. 28Reusing - Smashed Leaf Printed Cloth Napkins – Darryl

Sept. 4Wrap-up Celebration & Awards – Darryl

Attached below is the Global Climate Change Home Checklist.Parents are 
encouraged to help the kids with this checklist.We are hopeful this may 
initiate some discussions about other steps at home to reduce the impact 
of Global Climate Change.

Sorry I can’t tell you what the prizes will be.We’re still working on 
that part.

Darryl Ting, 2016 Summer Program Coordinator
