A Peaceful Picket

We had a peaceful, planned march around the SPC Parking Lot and Ridge Terrace on Thursday, January 31st - (despite the cold elements) as a sort of finale to our No Idling Campaign month.  The students were enthused and full of positive encouragement as their voices were heard around the SPC campus - they even included an impromptu chant of their own!  We are very proud of the Green Club as well as those parents and families who pay close attention to how small changes can make a big difference.

Let's try to reduce idling our cars throughout the entire year!
