Helping Ninjas Help Pollinators

Helping Ninjas students from College Wood Elementary School came together on Memorial Day Weekend, spending the holiday removing non-native invasive plants in three large areas of Founders Park in Carmel. Once cleared, the soil in these areas was improved and planted with plants native to Indiana which encourage butterflies, bee, and other pollinators to live and thrive.

Green Cubs Promote Reusable Bags

Orchard Park Elementary School Green Cubs promoted reusable bags at their school, helped pick up litter at Central Park, and collected used shoes for those in need.

Helping Ninjas Help Garden and Compost

The College Wood Elementary School Helping Ninjas wanted to learn and teach about local organic gardening and composting. They planted organic vegetables in a community plot at the CCS Plots to Plates Community Gardens and donated the food to their school cafeteria and Second Helpings. The students also worked with the school cafeteria manager to start composting cafeteria scraps. Students educated their classmates on ways to go green using the school's bulletin boards.
