DeBakey Middle School students commemorated Eco Day to learn about the many ways that they can help to protect the health of the environment. Grade 7 students planted flowers and shrubs in the school gazebo’s before doing an art project to describe the importance of the ecosystem. DeBakey Student Council delivered a presentation to 8th grade students featuring innovative, environmentally sustainable waste management strategies used around the world. After the presentation, 8th graders took a brief quiz to test what they learned from the presentation. They were also challenged to think of ways that they can reduce, reuse and recycle in their own lives.
