Hullo and gday dears!
The teachers and children of Harryville Primary School, Ballymena, are going to take the lead! in reaching out to the whole world, with the fast-growing ASAP pledge, which as you will know means: give up one thing and take up one thing to live ASAP – As Sustainably as Possible.
Yes. It’s good news which the KIDS are going to share with friends and family all over the world, including KOREA [North or South?] where they have penpals!
Ballymena Baglady Shirley Lewis visited the school last week with MLA Mervyn Storey, who told the children about his pledge: switching off all the power point at night, and walking more [a common one with MLAs and MPs!]
Children from all classes read out their pledges and principal Lesley Meikle said the school’s pledge is to reduce energy use by 5% this year…. If only they could get solar panels….
Inspiring, as ever. I’ll revisit the school [just across the river] on May 9th to meet the Eco-Warriors, who will take charge to make sure Harryville children contact friends and relations all over the world to get them to pledge too. KIDS and ALLS [Adults Learning to Live Sustainably]
Thanks to Ballymena Guardian and Ballymena Times, always there to take our smiling photos.
We put up a picture when we get one…… best beams, Baglady
