Students from Myriam Pederson's class at Toler Elementary School received an “eco-treasure” award for completing their Planet Protectors treasure map. Planet Protectors is an environmental club in which students participate in “green” activities, including litter clean-up, container recycling and conducting energy audits of their school. For completing the treasure map, students received Planet Protectors jackets, newsletters, two treasure chests filled with Planet Protectors patches, seeds, bookmarks and pencils made of recycled denim and recycled money. Toler Elementary School recently received the City of San Diego’s Recycler of the Year award for its environmental efforts (See Hall of Fame).
To set up a Planet Protectors club at your school, contact Ellyn Hae at (858) 637-6268.

San Diego Zoo Ambassador Joan Embery brought along a real cheetah on a recent visit to Cherokee Point Elementary. The special visit was to say thank you to the Cherokee Point Cheetahs (the school’s mascot) for raising more than $800 to contribute to the Cheetah Conservation Fund in Africa. Each month, students practiced a different character trait. During the month the students practiced generosity, they took on the project to raise money to save the endangered cheetahs. Students conducted research and became cheetah experts. “This whole process helped to create a strong sense of community, which is especially important for a new school,” said new Area Superintendent and former Cherokee Point Principal Rich Cansdale. “It will become an annual fund raiser.”
Joan Embery and “friend”.
