Abril es el Mes de la Tierra (el Día de la Tierra se celebra el miércoles, 22 de abril) y este año el lema es, una vez más: «Nuestro Poder, Nuestro Planeta». Este mensaje nos recuerda que la protección de nuestro planeta se demuestra a través de las acciones individuales cotidianas. ¡Cada esfuerzo y cada voz son importantes! Las acciones pequeñas y constantes suman para lograr grandes cambios.HSD adopta y demuestra prácticas de conservación durante todo el año, quizás de maneras que no siempre son visibles. Estas incluyen:Recolección de restos de alimentos: Todas las cocinas escolares recolectan los residuos de alimentos, que posteriormente son recogidos por nuestro servicio de recolección y trasladados a una planta de compostaje.Reciclaje de textiles: Muchas de nuestras escuelas cuentan con un contenedor de reciclaje textil en el plantel para recolectar prendas de vestir no deseadas.Los residuos de alimentos y los desechos textiles son dos de los tipos de desperdicio más abundantes y perjudiciales para el medio ambiente, ya que contribuyen significativamente a la acumulación de emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero. ¿Sabía usted que en Oregón se desperdician aproximadamente 800,000 toneladas de alimentos cada año y que solo el 15 % de los desechos textiles en Estados Unidos se recicla? ¿Cómo puede ayudar?Reduciendo el desperdicio de alimentos y los residuos relacionados con los alimentos:Tomar solo la comida y bebida que realmente va a consumirUtilizar platos, botellas y utensilios reusables (no desechables)Elegir envases sin plásticoSeparar correctamente los residuos antes de desecharlosReduciendo los residuos textiles:Elegir fibras y tintes naturalesComprar de manera «ahorrativa» y considerar artículos de segunda manoAprender a reparar su ropaComprar menos cantidad y priorizar la calidadEstas y otras acciones están incluidas en nuestro calendario de acciones para un planeta más saludable. Las ideas que se comparten son solo un punto de partida; adapte sus acciones para que reflejen su punto de vista personal. Las acciones más efectivas, y aquellas que es más probable que mantenga, son las que despierten su interés. ¡Diviértase!Para obtener más ideas e inspiración, visite nuestra página web Conservación de recursos y la página earthday.org.¡Felicitaciones a los equipos de la Batalla de los Libros de Oregón (OBOB, por sus siglas en inglés) de los grados 3 a 5 de la Escuela Primaria Tamarack, así como a los equipos de los grados 6 a 8 de las escuelas secundarias Evergreen y Poynter! Los equipos tuvieron un desempeño sobresaliente en los torneos regionales y lograron clasificar al Campeonato Estatal de OBOB, que se llevará a cabo el sábado, 11 de abril, en Chemeketa Community College en Salem. OBOB es un programa estatal voluntario que promueve la motivación y la comprensión lectora.Los estudiantes que forman parte de un equipo OBOB leen uno o más libros de listas proporcionadas por la organización OBOB y luego compiten contra otros equipos en «batallas» para determinar quién obtiene más puntos al responder preguntas sobre esos libros. ¡Excelente trabajo, equipos OBOB y mucho éxito en el campeonato estatal!El tercer trimestre finaliza el jueves, 9 de abril. El viernes, 10 de abril, será un día sin clases para los estudiantes, mientras los maestros de las escuelas primarias cumplen con un día laboral y los maestros de las escuelas secundarias y preparatorias trabajan en las calificaciones. Las clases se reanudarán el lunes, 13 de abril.

April is Earth Month - with Earth Day on Wednesday, April 22 - and this year the theme is once again: “Our Power, Our Planet.” This statement reminds us that protecting our planet is demonstrated through everyday individual actions. Every effort and every voice matters! Small, consistent actions add up to big change. HSD embraces and demonstrates conservation practices throughout the year in ways that you might not realize. These include:Food Scrap Collection. All school kitchens collect food waste, which is picked up by our hauling service and taken to a composting facility. Textile Recycling. Many of our schools have an on-site textile recycling bin for the collection of unwanted clothing items. Food and textile waste are two of the most abundant and harmful to our environment, significantly contributing to the accumulation of greenhouse gas emissions. Did you know that roughly 800,000 tons of food are wasted annually in Oregon and that only 15% of textile waste in the U.S. is recycled? How can you help?Reduce food and food-related waste by:Taking only the food and beverage you will consume Using durable (not disposable) dishes, beverage bottles, and utensilsChoosing plastic-free containers, and Sorting your waste before disposingReduce textile waste by: Choosing natural fibers and dyesBeing “thrifty” and shopping secondhandLearning to mend your clothing, andBuying less and buying better qualityThese actions and more are listed on our calendar of Healthy Earth Action Items. The ideas listed are simply a launching point - tailor your actions to fit your vision. The most effective actions - and the ones you're likely to stick with - are those that interest you. Have fun!For more ideas and inspiration, visit our Resource Conservation webpage and earthday.org.Congratulations to the Oregon Battle of the Books grades 3 through 5 team at Tamarack Elementary School, and to the grades 6 through 8 teams at Evergreen and Poynter Middle Schools. They performed well enough in their regional tournaments to qualify for the OBOB State Championship on Saturday, April 11, at Chemeketa Community College in Salem. OBOB is a statewide voluntary reading motivation and comprehension program. Students on an OBOB team read one or more books from lists provided by the OBOB organization, then compete against other teams in “battles” to see which can earn more points by answering questions about those books. Way to go and best of luck at State, OBOB teams!Third quarter ends on Thursday, April 9. There will be no school for students on Friday, April 10, as elementary teachers have a work day and secondary teachers prepare grades. School resumes on Monday, April 13. Hot News is produced and emailed to HSD families and staff each week school is in session. Please add the address to your “safe sender” list to make sure you always receive the latest issue.

A book about a transgender girl is on the reading list for OBOB next year. Two Oregon schools districts are pulling out of the competition over it. April Baer from OPB's State of Wonder has a look. Also, Conrad Wilson talks with Thurston High School alumni and former administrators on the 20th anniversary of the day Kip Kinkel killed two students there.

ECS Podcast: Thursday, March 16th featuring OBOB!

Luc makes a return visit to the Safari Park where he previously met a chimp with serious rectal problems (see Episode "The Assey Wonders of Wunderbar"). Understandably, this leads to speculation on the nature of the afterlife. What if you don't like sand? Or boobs? Or sandy boobs? Then what, huh? Also, we get repunched in the mail sack by Zeth, who generously responds to our rather ungenerous response to his earlier email. I gotta hand it to the guy – he's extremely dedicated. Maybe excessively dedicated. That kind of dedication is crying out for a safe word – if you want to suggest one, email us (maskedman@limitedappeal.net). Theme music courtesy of General Patton vs. The X-Ecutioners and Ipecac Recordings.
