Trees for Templeton - Deadline Monday, 2/2/2009

Templeton School is applying for an Urban Forestry Grant from the Department of Natural Resources to create a "living fence" between the playground and Hillside Ave. Students and families will assist a contractor in planting the trees by the playground, reducing air and noise pollution. A variety of trees will also be planted to provide needed shade by parking lots and plyground areas, reducing temperatures, absorbing pollutants, providing shade and protecting wildlife.

Support from individuals and community groups is requested to increase the application's chance of success. A short form (takes less than 5 minutes to fill out) is available to register your support, but it must be completed and returned by MONDAY, 2/2. Leave a comment requesting a form (let us know how to contact you) or contact Sally Jones (322-5548). Completed forms can be dropped of at the school; also Sally Jones has offered to pick them up, by arrangement.

This Week on The Friday Zone… A Day at the Park (Bryan Park)

October 10th, 2008

The community of Bloomington, Indiana has an outdoor community resource in the form of Bryan Park. If you have not visited Bryan Park before, here is your big chance! Katie and three young friends named Miranda, Garrick, and Noah spent a day playing on the playgrounds, engaged in a lesson with a tennis professional, and splashing around the Bryan Park Pool.

This episode (shot mostly at the park) will air Friday, Oct 10 from 4:30PM - 5:00PM and again Saturday morning, Oct 11 at 10:00AM.

The Friday Zone is a multiple Emmy award-winning children’s series. It airs weekly on two PBS stations in Indiana, WTIU and WFYI. It is produced by WTIU and has been on the air since 1999.

THE FRIDAY ZONE serves children who are between the ages of 7 – 12 years old, as well as their parents. THE FRIDAY ZONE mission is to challenge children to explore, investigate and experience the world around them.
