Red Ribbon Week
|
| |
 |
|
Sinaloa
Middle School held their Red Ribbon Week
and our Builders Club sponsored a lunch
time event that went very well.
The kids sponsored an anti-smoking booth.
There was a lot of interest from the students
and a lot of hard working Builders club
kids pulling the whole event together.

Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb Drive
|
| |
|
It took a lot
of time and work, but we did it, thanks to Trisha
Ortega and Doris Do from Peak.
Peak is an educational
program that empowers students to manage their
futures through real-world applications.
Our journey started
when Builders Club was at an event called River
Rally last September.
We talked to these
nice ladies and asked if we could get some free
light bulbs.
They ended up
teaching six teachers at La Mesa about ways
to save energy and donated hundreds of compact
fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs).
|
| |
|
|
|
We
also sold more than 800 "Be Green"
bracelets to buy CFLs and received donations
from the community to help us hand out light
bulbs to save energy in our community.
By
using CFL light bulbs instead of regular bulbs,
students at La Mesa alone can save enough
energy to light more that three million homes
for a year and prevent greenhouse gasses equaling
emissions of almost 800,000 cars.
|
|
|
|
| |
|
We took each light bulb
and packaged them individually and put energy-saving
tips in the bags.
Builders Club is trying
to make La Mesa Junior High an Earth-conscientious
and energy-efficient school.
Events that Builders
Club members have done are a 5k run, Kiwanis Club
pancake breakfast, River Rally, recycling and picking
up trash at school, holiday food drive, Earth Day
recycling project, plus more.
Builders Club was so
excited to find out we reached our goal. It felt awesome.
Every day we feel like we accomplished something huge.

| The Sinaloa Builders
Club is up and running for the 2007-08 school
year. Their faculty advisor, Corrine Mansfield
informed me that they have dues paid from 54 members.
They will be providing club T-shirts to all of
the members to show off their colors.
Several
of their members helped us this summer by working
at the Lobster Fest and at the Simi Valley Days
Carnival. They also walked and rode on our float
in the Simi Valley Days Parade.

Since school started
they have had a table at the school's Club Sign-Up
Day, have collected funds for the UNICEF support
of efforts to fight AIDS in Swaziland, have supported
the Trick-Or-Treat day at the Sunrise Extended
Care Home and are planning to work on the Rose
Parade floats at the Rosemont Pavilion. We expect
many of them will be attending the Kiwanis/Sponsored
Youth Picnic on Saturday November 18th. |
| hey meet every
Monday at 12:18 in Corrine's Science Room, D-11,
for lunch and an all too short business meeting.
