"I congratulate our Envi Award finalists and winners," said Congressman Hal Rogers (KY-5). "You earned this special recognition because you improved our environment this year. You should take great pride in knowing that you made a difference. I certainly am proud of you." Rogers continued, "The Envi Awards honor the people who went an extra mile for PRIDE this year, but there are literally thousands of additional volunteers, community leaders and students who are paving the way to a cleaner, healthier future. I thank you all." ACHS recognized for its exceptional environmental education program Adair County High School was recognized for its exceptional environmental education program. The Indian-PRIDE Arboretum, which is on the campus shared by the high school and Colonel William E. Casey Elementary School, is the focal point for a variety of hands-on learning activities. Students plant native trees there and enjoy lessons along the nature trail and in the outdoor classroom shelter. In the schools joint PRIDE Club, the Garden Friends, older students mentor younger ones. Last fall, high school students organized a "Pumpkin Patch" in the arboretum for the elementary students. The event included a hay maze, face painting, games, story telling and "picking" pumpkins placed on the ground. Students regularly participate in local cleanup and water-quality monitoring efforts.

PRIDE serves 38 counties in southern and eastern Kentucky. The organization links citizens with the resources of local, state and federal agencies to clean up the region's waterways, end illegal trash dumps and promote environmental education and awareness. PRIDE is funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.For more information, please call the PRIDE office at 888-577-4339 or visit the PRIDE web site This story was posted on 2006-05-09 15:10:21
