Richlands High School T2H (Trees to Hug) will be exhibiting on March 26th

Exhibit Title: Our Role in Conservation: Building a Better Tomorrow

At the Kids’ Tech University Exhibit, T2H would like to discuss what students can do to conserve and better the enviornment. There will be a foucus on what students can do individually, or as a group, to improve their schools, homes, or parks. Many students want to help the environment but do not know what they can do to help. T2H students have first hand experience on this topic and would like to share what they have learned with students from other schools.

Club Information:

T2H (Trees to Hug) was start in Fall 2008 by Mrs. Melissa Addison and Mrs. Tiffany Stillwell, teachers at Richlands High School. Our members come from a variety of social and economic backgrounds that have banded together to promote conservation and sustainable living. The purpose of the club was to bring green ideas and practices into the school setting. Richlands High School now has a recycling program, participates in the science fair, sponsors school run activities, and promotes green living practices by being examples for the rest of the student body. During Earth Week we sponsor week long activities, including fundraisers, presentations, and school and town improvement projects. We work with the surrounding middle and elementary schools to teach younger students ways they can make a difference in their schools and homes by recycling, conserving water and electricity, and working together to make a better tomorrow. Our T2H members realize that small differences now can mean a better future for us all.
