On May 4, 2014, St. Michael’s parishioners celebrated Earth Day by gathering together and educating young people on environmental protection and responsibility. Marilyn Cheney, St. Michael’s Director of Children’s Education, and parishioner Barb Phinney performed a skit for young parishioners about littering and the overuse of plastic.

Ms. Phinney also serves as the Milton Garden Club’s Co-Chair of Conservation and is working hard to update the current 30-year-old Bottle Bill to include a $.05 deposit on all single use water bottles, sports, juice and iced tea containers. Following the performance, children participated in arts and crafts and received and decorated re-usable canvas bags and encouraged to use them when shopping. The annual Earth Day celebration is one of the many events St. Michael’s offers young people throughout the year.
