We are a K-5 school. We decorated 206 bags and took them to the County Market closest to our school. We made signs for each register that asked the people to help our school support Earth Day by using paper bags.

1997 Earth Day Groceries Reports - Montana
This is a wonderful project. I teach first grade here at Lolo
School in Lolo, Montana, and grades K-4 participated in the project this
year. We've had a great time. Harvest Foods in Lolo provided us with bags,
let us display the completed bags in the store, and then used them to bag
groceries today, Earth Day! The kids were thrilled to see the bags
displayed and excited to possibly get their bag when grocery shopping.
Total number of participants: 339. Thanks for the great project.

Greetings Mark and all the others participating in this great lesson. I
am excited to report that our part of the project greatly grew since
last year. Here in the beautiful northwestern corner of Montana, in the
town of Kalispell, we now have 7 schools, covering kindergarten through
seventh grade, participating. We are delivering a total of 2,400
decorated sacks with our Earth Day messages and pictures to our local
Tidymans store. The public response was wonderful last year and are
hopeful we can encourage all here to think about ways to keep our lovely
niche of the world special.We look forward to following the increase of
numbers globally and will be in touch again next year, same time, same
place!!!

1996 Earth Day Groceries Reports - Montana
I'm a former fourth grade teacher in Missoula, Montana. I found your
project on Ednet and thought it would be a fun and simple project to do
with my former school. I proposed the project to them and a portion of
the school participated. The kids were very excited about the project and
the idea that their bags would be going home with customers on Earth Day.
They did a wonderful job, and I hope to expand to other area schools next
year.:)

I have coordinated an effort for Montana so we can have some
school participate in your great project. Peterson Elementary school
has gone across the grade levels kindergarten through sixth grade and
has decorated 800 paper Tidyman's sacks. We have returned them and the
manager has promised to hand them out on Monday.
We are located in
Kalispell which is is the upper northwest corner of the state. We sit
right beside Glacier National park and Big Mountain Ski resort.
My question is how do
we come on? I did not find a registrati9on form. Are we too late to
register for 1996? Thanks.-barba@cyberport.net or check out our school
