Green Apple Day of Service
is a volunteer event in which
people around the world will come together
to support healthy, sustainable schools
by taking action
in their local communities.

4. Green Apple Day of Service
Highlandtown
#215 is
already a
“Green School”
– and we want to
make it
even greener.

5. Green Apple Day of Service
There are ways
Highlandtown
is green
inside
- like recycling

6. Green Apple Day of Service
- and low-flow
0.5 gallon per
minute faucets.
That feels good!

7. Green Apple Day of Service
Highlandtown
is also
green outside
- with trees to
add to the urban
canopy.

8. Green Apple Day of Service
And there’s a
playground just
across the
street

9. Green Apple Day of Service
and planters
with flowers
to attract
butterflies.

10. Green Apple Day of Service
We would like to
make the
garden greener
--
by picking up
trash,

11. Green Apple Day of Service
-- pulling up
weeds and
removing old
landscape
fabric,

12. Green Apple Day of Service
--
installing
new
landscap
e fabric,
paving
material,
and
seating,

13. Green Apple Day of Service
-- planting more perennials and adding mulch,

14. Green Apple Day of Service
-- and making
this little corner
of the world
a little greener.

15. Green Apple Day of Service
There’s a lot
of steps to
get all
this work
done . . .

we can
accomplish
a lot!
