Every Monday after the close of school a group of dedicated 5th graders assemble in Geoffrey Selling’s classroom at Germantown Friends School.  This group of students is called the Environmental Action Club.  The EAC is tireless as they use their enthusiasm and energy to improve the school grounds.  So far the group has planted hundreds of bulbs and hauled away bags of trash.  The group has decided to work on litter control and the continuation from last year’s campus improvement project. Now that the students’ have identified litter control as their topic they will investigate the best strategies for identifying action that will impact school behavior and policies.
