WVIR · last updated

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) — The Community Climate Collaborative (C3) surprised students at Walker Upper Elementary School on Friday, May 16, with climate action kits.

Each kit contains different activities and crafts with the goal of teaching students about caring for the climate in a fun way.

C3 delivered more than 700 climate action kits today including more than 300 for Walker Upper Elementary.

“I’m definitely going to implement it,” Walker Upper Elementary School Teacher Trinity Swift said. “Our whole science team has decided that as the year is closing and we finish SOL’s we can still encourage science learning instead of sitting back and getting lax.”

C3 executive director Susan Kruse said for the first time C3 was able to offer kits in four separate languages.
