CELEBRATING 25 EARTH DAYS....McDowell 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th, grades have participated in a
Community project to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Earth Day. H.E.B. and SuperSgrocery stores
gave McDowell paper bags so the students could write and color messages to the community about how
to conserve our precious environment. Pictured are some of the students who put forth extra effort in their
bag project. The bags will be returned to H.E.B. and Super S so the community can have their groceries
put in one of these special bags to take home. The staff and students extend many thanks to these two
.stores for their continuous support.
