Advocacy Focus for April: 

Our Advocacy focus for April is the theme of “We Love the Environment.” This is a month to enjoy the natural world and all that it gives us. 

Service-Learning Exhibition starts April 22  

                This year, for service learning, students stayed in their advocacy classes to work on projects. Classes chose a topic and then made projects to educate others about that topic.  

                Projects will be completed and ready for exhibition on April 22 and will be available to view on the left side of the webpage here. 

These projects are available for you to learn about and support a range of causes such as bees, unhoused populations, and wild animal habitats.  

Community Clean Up – April 22 - 25 

Trash pickups are always a popular activity around Earth Day so let’s join the popular crowd. Unfortunately, we still can’t be together doing this as a group so you will pick up litter wherever you’d like! We have a goal of picking up 2021 pieces of litter between April 22 and April 25.  

                You can choose 30 mins to an hour sometime within those 4 days to head out and make your community a little cleaner.  

Westgate has Washington Street adopted from 120th-128th. If you’d like to pick up litter along our adopted street you are more than welcome!  

                Please fill out this form to indicate you’d like to participate. You’ll receive a sticker, bags, gloves (if you need them) and a general safety video the week of April 19. 

                Send pictures and how many pieces of litter you picked up to Mrs. Valenza at [email protected]. There will be a running total on the environmental education page of our website so you can follow along the whole weekend.  

                If you post to social media use the hashtag #WCSEarthDay2021
