Hello friends!

    Read along about the incredible journey that salmon make over hundreds of miles, and how our daily lives can impact them. Check out the boardgames to play along! Grab a dice and a friend. Take turns rolling your dice and totaling up points. If you get sent back to start, keep playing until you’re able to make it around the board. Was it easy for you to do?

    Torch Club members, this week is Earth Week! 


    Tomorrow (Wednesday April 22nd) will mark the 50th anniversary of Earth Day! While we were not able to finish your project at the Club, you can still have an impact on your community on your service topic. Grab a parent, some gloves and a trash bag to go collect some trash from the sidewalks in your neighborhood! Challenge yourself to minimize waste throughout the week, or even complete your own home Ort Report to share what you were doing at the club in your own homes! Remember your title “Little Changes, BIG Difference” and the song The Little Things We Do.  You can definitely find little changes in your home, have fun, and share any pictures with wbgc.virtual@gmail.com if you’d like to be featured!
