Alexandra is a student in Brenda Firsick's class at Marthasville Elementary School. The slogan was chosen from among hundreds of slogans sent in by fifth-grade students from across Missouri. It's great to see so many outstanding slogans being submitted that show how much students care about the environment. Earth Day activities are free and will feature live entertainment, interactive displays, games and more. Many Missouri businesses have donated prizes that will be given away during the day.
Schools are welcome to plan field trips and the public is invited to attend.
Missouri will hold its Earth Day celebration on the Capitol grounds in Jefferson City from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Friday, April 20, 2001.
