Potted Plants Event

Last Thursday, CGTSPS turned our attention to a great Sustainability event. With a forecast for rain at noontime, we headed inside to the Creese Student Center Lobby to enjoy free unlimited hot dogs with chips and iced tea!

About 50 students were in attendance to hear from Ginny of the Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education. She spoke about issues relevant to our local ecosystem and how we can all make a positive impact on our surroundings. You can visit their website here for more information: http://www.schuylkillcenter.org/.

After Ginny's presentation, students took part in planting their very own flowers and pots! (Credit to Kyle N. for his potting skills in the photo above) What a way to finish off an awesome event! Thanks for all in attendance!
