Hey, students! As you all know, we are taking a BIG field trip on Friday, April 25 for our "Community Stewardship Day". Students will go in groups to various parks around the city to participate in activities such as invasive plant removal, native tree planting, and litter clean-up and sorting. Students will be working with expert volunteers from our community partner groups: the City of Alexandria Department of Recreation, Parks, and Cultural Activities, The National Park Service, The Alexandria Seaport Foundation, Friends of Dyke Marsh, Earth Sangha, and INOVA hospital.
All students are required to wear long-sleeve shirts to protect them from poison ivy, and we encourage you to spend just $5.00 to buy our official International Academy Community Stewardship Day long-sleeved, gray T-shirt from your science teacher. The shirts have our International Academy logo on the front, and say "Community Stewardship Day" on the back. It will be SO GREAT to see every student and teacher wearing these shirts on April 25.
If you want to be super generous, you can donate extra money. Some students and teachers are giving $10, $15, or $20 to help pay for T-shirts for those students who may not be able to afford one.
