In the PG class on November 19, all the first grade teachers and students participated in the donation ceremony to The Million Tree Project sponsored by Shanghai Roots and Shoots Organization. All the 25,000RMB from the last Charity Fair will be donated to this project to buy 1,000 seedlings. All the 1,000 seedlings will be planted on the sandy lands in Inner Mongolia China, which has a very serious environmental problem: desertification.

The working staff from Roots and Shoots Shanghai had a brief speech and introduced this Million Tree Project to all the first grade teachers and students. Many students kept raising hands to ask questions about this project and the serious environmental problems in China. All the students felt very proud of what they have done for helping our earth staying green.

Finally, all the six student representatives from each class handed in the donation to the Roots and Shoots staff. Every student burst out very warm applause with great pride on everyone’s face. The teachers believe that all the students have learned a lot on trying best to protect our earth. The next charity fair for the primary section will definitely gain greater success.(Written by Jane Wu Picture by Jane Wu)
