“The more you praise and celebrate your
life, the more there is in life to celebrate.” - Oprah
Winfrey
Purpose:
When you finish a Roots & Shoots
project, it is always a good idea to connect to your community
by sharing your work with others. Your project is a symbol of
hope in your community and it can sometimes lead to other positive
changes. It is your job to determine the best way to celebrate
and share your news.
Share the news of your project in your community. Your
group will need to determine the best ways to communicate
your message. Here is a list of options to choose from:
Present your project to younger students and create
a hands-on activity that they can do to continue the work
that you began.
If you completed an endangered species research project,
present your recovery plan to a panel of experts (local
governmental officials, school board members, local zoo
staff, and parents).
Brainstorm other ways to share your message.
Celebrate your hard work.
Throw a party. Invite everyone who helped make the project
a success.
Compile a project scrapbook with photos and captions
and display at your school or in your community.
Find your Roots & Shoots tree sketch and see if during
the course of your Roots & Shoots project you discovered
new roots (people who support you) or new shoots (new hopes,
dreams, or things you want to accomplish in life) that you
want to add to your tree. If so, add them.
