Labor Day is the unofficial end of summer. Children return to school, and they often have to report on what they did during summer vacations.
Several St. John Vianney students have much to tell.
They took part in Brookfield’s Fourth of July parade and represented the Elmbrook Historical Society. This year’s parade theme was “America the Beautiful.” The children added a tag line “Let’s Keep It That Way.” Their imaginations led to eco-friendly messages, such as “Keep the Ocean Blue,” “Save Energy,” “Keep the Water Clean,” “Keep the Forest Green,” and “Reduce, Reuse, Recyle.”
The float they created won the Mayor’s Award for Most Significant Spirit of the 4th of July. The Award and several pictures from the parade are on display at St. John Vianney.
Our children are aware of and concerned about the environment. Let’s hope their consciousness will lead us into the future.
Pictures say a thousand words, but this user could not overcome the technological challenges.
