If enough people do one small action each day to benefit the natural world, the combination of those action will add up to something huge. An ‘iDot’ can be as small as picking up a discarded tin can so a hedgehog doesn’t get trapped in it or turning off a tap while you clean your teeth to save water.

The Lower School is looking for readers for its Audio Book Project!!!
The idea is to have Middle and High School students record themselves reading picture books from the Lower School library. Each book will then have a QR code stuck on its back cover linking it to the audio recording.
Also, if you can read in another language than English, the Lower School is also looking for readers for its foreign languages section!
This would be a great Service as Action activity for G9 and G10, but all grades are welcome.
More info about the project here.
