The 6th graders in Mrs. Rosen’s class were working with two architects and learning about sustainable communities.  We realized that we need to conserve our natural resources and be more aware of other sources of energy. Instead of using a car, perhaps if we lived in closer communities, we could walk or ride bikes to get where we needed to go.   Over several months, we worked in small groups to create a model of our own sustainable community.  The model was taken to VA Tech’s Architectural School on January 8th to be displayed along with other projects that other schools completed.  Allison R. and Jacqueline K. spoke to all about what they learned and how they came up with this idea.  Mrs. Rosen and her students, along with their parents, attended that evening.
