2012 Annual Report - America SCORES

ERVICE
The Roxhill Elementary Boys Team from America SCORES Seattle investigated litter in
their own community. They logged the amount of litter in their local park and identified
the causes and effects of littering. The Team then participated in the White Center
Community Development Association’s (WCCDA) “Spring Clean” Day. One of 22
WCCDA projects, The Roxhill Park Litter Clean Up had help from several community
members who made the park a better, cleaner place for all!
Hayes Bilingual Elementary students from America SCORES Milwaukee visited an Urban
Aquaponic Farm in Milwaukee's South Side. After learning more about the urban
farming system, volunteers from Starbucks helped them build garden beds with
construction materials, compost and harvest worms, and wash and decorate buckets
for use on the farm. The students were able to see the work that goes into creating
healthy foods and communities.
