Something I am very passionate about is helping to keep God's great Earth as beautiful and clean as possible.  Mrs. Booth and I hope to continue teaching students about sustainability and why it is so important.  We are involved with Michigan Green Schools, which is "dedicated to assisting all Michigan schools...in achieving environmental goals which include protecting the air, land, water and animals of our state along with world outreach through good ecological practices and the teaching of educational stewardship of students" (Michigan Green Schools website).  My ultimate goal is for students to take what they learn at school and spread the word at home and in the community.
