Today there was a 5k and banner contest in connection with the Climate Change Summit that is happening in New York City this weekend. Climate Change is a serious issue, especially in the pacific because we are seeing hotter temps, saltier waters, and higher water levels.
Our students developed and painted a banner for the contest. We walked 5k (actually, less than). We all enjoyed ourselves!
I love the design of the shirts. We got free shirts! Yay!
A poet, Kathy Jetnil-Kijiner, from the Marshall Islands will be speaking at the climate change summit in NYC. Her poems are amazing. She has a blog (http://jkijiner.wordpress.com) and made several videos of her poems. A lot of her poems relate to the Marshall Islands and the way people percieve Marshallese people/Micronesians.
Looks like fun! The shirts are cool!
