As part of PS 321’s GO GREEN project, the entire school walked around Long’s Meadow this morning in a walkathon for environmental causes.
It was an exhilarating walk on this most beautiful of spring days. The kids chanted "Go Green" or "Earth Day." Some said completely inappropriate things like "Go Rangers." But they’re kids.
There was plenty of goofing around and "I’m thirsty’s" but mostly the kids were thrilled to be in the park. They particularly loved to have their pictures taken by local press photographers and parents.
There were pink flowers in the trees, and the grass was greener than green, which matched the color of many of the children and teachers.
Perhaps best of all, there was an ad hoc marching band put together by the school’s music teachers and some parents. A sousaphone, a sax, a drum kit in a shopping cart, conga drums, and more…
It couldn’t have been more perfect.
When we walked by Marty Markowitz, we chanted “Develop Don’t Destroy”
I live on 3rd St. and I saw police lights at the top of the hil this morning. I was like, “What’s going on?” and then I saw all those great kids marching. And I thought, “I just love Park Slope.” What a great place to live.
