The 6th grade Sustainable Pathways project is centered around transportation, especially in relation to fossil fuels and emissions.
During the Fall, students completed research projects on both fossil fuels and alternative energy sources. We also spent time outside collecting data on idling cars during Lower School pick-up.
Using this knowledge and data, the students embarked on a project to create informative websites, film infomercials, and create posters that will be used to inform and educate the McGillis community on ways to refine their transportation choices to lessen their impact on the environment. The websites the students created can be found here:

The students will be hanging their posters and showing their infomercials in the coming weeks. We hope to see positive change when we collect further data in the months ahead.
