The Kindergarten class at Rumsey Hall, affectionately known as the Kindies, organized a march to proclaim their pledge to protect the Earth. After weeks of research and planning, the students boldly displayed activist signs, chanted “save the Earth,” and inspired inclusion from peers throughout the streets of Rumsey Hall’s campus. “We are changing the world, one Kindie at a time,” said Kindie teacher Amanda McGrew.
The Kindies crafted the signs with messages that included earth-saving slogans such as, “Soil Not Oil,” “Buy Less Stuff,” and “Use Less Plastic.” The day of the march, they communicated their mission to the entire community by showing a video asking for help. They asked their peers to support their mission by signing a pledge to take action on behalf of the Earth. Then, the Kindies bravely marched in solidarity to voice their pleas to save the Earth.
