Video History of Team Marine

On Friday October 17, the S107 classroom became a movie theatre of the Team’s past. The whole room was filled with students from marine bio, APES and of course every member of the team. We got to witness the evolution of Team Marine, from the “guinea pigs” to the dream teams, through the videos they were showcased in or ones that they created themselves. In watching these videos we felt inspired, and learned from our predecessors. We are proud to say that we are a part of such an accomplished team and the title that they have earned is now one that we must live up to. We thank everyone who came to this event and helped us eco-activate and educate ourselves so that we may eco-educate others.

Parent Meeting

At the start of every year, team members host a special meeting/ potluck dinner where our parents can come and watch a presentation. On October 17th, 2014 we held our parent meeting and do this mainly so they can understand how vigorous and time consuming being a member is, but also learn what we have done and what we will do in the new year. In watching the presentation, we hope that our parents will feel inspired by us. This meeting is pivotal in the success of the team because although we are environmental activists, we are students and their family members first. With the support and consent of our parents going to events is much easier. We love it when our parents get envolved and parent support is extremely important. All the members would like to thank our parents, and let them know that they are the most important members on the team, always stepping up when we need them. Thank you Team Marine parents!

Commendation from the Board of Education

150A1524

Team Marine on October 16, 2014 received a commendation from the Board of Education. We got this honor because of the hard work we put forth for the last eight years regarding the state wide plastic bag ban, which recently passed. Three of our best speakers took the podium and went through a short powerpoint highlighting what service learning, research, and artwork we have accomplished in support of the statewide plastic bag ban.  After viewing this, we hope that they take into consideration the three ideas that we gave them to improve the district in a sustainable way. The first idea we would like to see implemented is a sustainability committee that includes all stake holders: parents, teachers and students. Secondly, to adopt “environmental literacy ” in our mission statement so that all students graduating from SMMUSD be environmentally literate. Finally, to increase environmental education opportunities for both students and teachers. We are deeply thankful that the board thought of us, and recognized us, and we hope to see the district become more sustainable, together.
