Our local first grade Daisy girls painted three 55-gallon barrels (donated & prepped by Ballweg Family Dealerships), to “recycle” them into garbage/recycling cans for Earth Day. We talked to the girls about how Earth Day was helping to protect the Earth and to keep it clean. We had them think up things that they thought about when they think about nature. We gave them directions on how to brainstorm together in their team and paint what nature and earth represented to them. The barrels are being donated to the Villages of Sauk City, Prairie du Sac and the Town of West Point, which represent where all of the girls in the troop live!
