Education and awareness are essential elements of the ‘Green Ranger s ‘ initiative.
A Green Drive was planned, organised and conducted in school by the students of Grade XI IB on the 29 of November in the school campus. . Their efforts are truly commendable. The students distributed 350 bamboo shoots generously donated by the A.P.Forest Department. All the children were given some information about the plants they had acquired. The response was overwhelming and the shoots were picked up by enthusiastic junior school students within minutes.
Padma Priya one of the students actively participated in the activity besides Apoorv Saraogi, Akshat and Vivek from the Green Rangers Club. There were 15 other student volunteers who were also helped by the junior school children in shifting the plants inside the campus. It was good to see the junior school students put up a sincere effort in helping their seniors. This initiative by the students goes to reflect their understanding of the role of plants and animals in nature, their commitment in promoting tree plantation and in creating awareness on the ill effects of deforestation.
To make sure everyone associated with OIS gets a tree friend we will be getting more saplings and doing a repeat performance of the event.
Green Rangers Club
Great initiative!
