Love the Earth is part of pre-Valentines program offered by Menlo Spark

Diane Bailey, who is Executive Director of Menlo Spark, let us know about a fun art project called “Love Your Earth” her organization sponsored yesterday at the Boys & Girls Club in the Belle Haven neighborhood of Menlo Park as a prelude to today’s Valentine celebration. She emails:

“[The] BGCP has been integrating environmental themes into some of their programs.[Yesterday] Jonathan Hooker, with support from David Cruz, led students through an art project creating little 3-D paper Loraxes. We talked to the kids about the story of the Lorax and what it means to Love the Earth, ­clean up trash outside, recycle, save water, protect habitat for the animals who live in it and also us humans. The kids were great about sharing their ideas too.”
