The Kids @ Logan Elementary replant trees
The team from AShirtBag started this week finishing up our educational program "7 things you can do in 7 days to save our environment" at Logan Elementary, and it was a big smash. The kids replanted the trees they were given into larger pots for planting later this summer in the city of Detroit.I would like to thank all of the people that donate to our cause and the teachers at all of the schools in the DPS for all the hard work they did teaching the kids about recycling and why it is important to grow trees and save the earths natural resources. Bravo everyone.
