About our project: All three grades at Churchill Jr. High in Galesburg, IL decorated paper grocery bags for Earth Day. Most students completed two bags. Threee large grocery stores participated: Hy Vee, Econo Foods, and Eagles. Each grade used bags from a different store. The students used a wide variety of environmental ideas on their bags. The bags were returned to the stores the Friday before Earth Day and used for customers starting on Sunday, April 21.
