Eagle Eyes our Pride Teams

Did you know Allen has two Pride Teams??  The Allen 4th grade Pride Team, led by Mrs. Jenny York, currently meets every Thursday at lunch.  Their current work surrounds a fundraiser that they are planning in which the school will have a contest to see which animal from the Howell Nature Center we will "adopt" or sponsor.   The animals they can adopt are: a white tailed deer, a coyote and a woodchuck.  The students are researching the animals and creating informational posters.

In addition they focus on recycling which includes the recycling center and processing recycled items (such as Capri Sun containers) for sending in.  

The 4th grade Pride Team is instrumental in submitting the application for green school by March 1 and then working for the rest of the year to complete the items outlined in the Application.  Allen has been either a Green School, Emerald School, or Evergreen school for the past three years thanks to the Pride Team.

Students in the Pride Team also work throughout the year to complete their Green Passports which are filled with different types of environmental activities.

Fifth grade Pride Team, led by Ms. Alice King, meets on Wednesdays at lunch recess about twice a month.  For some meetings all students attend.  Other meetings sub groups attend to do tasks such as box top cutting, Thanksgiving place mats, etc.  Other pride team activities include students reading with the kindergarten classes on different days of the week and some students working on a news article about fifth grade pride team for the Wednesday newsletter.

Thanks Pride Teams for your work at Allen School.    Ms. Fitz
