Get Ready to Walk, Bike & Roll!
Hi Teller community!
It’s time to lace up those sneakers, pump up those bike tires, or put together a carpool for the Annual National Walk, Bike, & Roll (and Carpool) to School Day on October 9, 2024, which is TOMORROW! 🎉
This year’s celebration is special because Teller is one of two schools in the district to be named a Green Flag Eco-School by the National Wildlife Federation. This is NWF’s highest honor. Here is a video made by the Earth Rangers highlighting the eco-groovy activities going on at Teller!!!
Join the Earth Rangers and Teller Leadership on the blacktop from 7:00 - 7:35 AM for a morning full of fun! Whether you’re walking, biking, rolling, or carpooling, let’s make this a day to remember!
Here are several ways you can help keep Teller Green:
- Design Teller’s Eco-Code. Kids, Teller needs its own Eco-Code. Your teachers will give you details on Tuesday, October 8 during PRIDE time. Turn in your 8.5” X 11” poster submission before the end of school on Wednesday, October 9 to Ms. Treisi. If your Eco-Code poster is adopted, you will win a free “Stay Green Denver Public Schools” water bottle (designed by Earth Rangers)!
- Take charge of Teller’s 2024-2025 Eco-Certification application. Parents, we need a dedicated volunteer to keep track of Teller’s eco-groovy activities this year and to submit the application to the National Wildlife Federation. Contact heather.b.jackson@gmail.com if you are willing to take on that role.
- Support the garden. We need adults to help students working in the garden (every Teller student works with it once per year), as well as maintaining the garden over the summer. Contact Lisa Davis, garden coordinator, at lisa@denverdavis.com if you would like to help.
- Support the pantry. Check out Teller Pantry Friends website for open pantry hours, volunteer and donation opportunities, and events. You can also reach out to contact@tellerpantry.org with questions and for info.
- Support Teller’s Annual Book Swap! Please save your gently used books to donate to our Book Swap in the spring.
- Support Earth Rangers. Earth Rangers are raising funds by selling eco-groovy 25 oz. single wall stainless steel “Stay Green Denver Public Schools” water bottles at Walk, Bike, and Roll. (Designed by Earth Ranger & Teller alum, Halle Jackson.) Buy yours at Walk, Bike, & Roll. Bottles are $20.
See you all tomorrow!
