Bonnie Swanson, Principal at Pelican Island Elementary School, thanked the Board <br />and commented that the Eco -Troop students are very actively working on this project and <br />are here today regarding a problem they need help with. <br />Stephanie Holdridge, 6' grader and President of the Eco -Troop, statedthe Eco -Troop <br />needs the Board's assistance. <br />Annie Flanary, student, stated they need to raise $250,000. They have completed <br />many fund raisers: they sold t -shirts, pens, stepping stones, coasters, etc. and sold drinks, <br />snacks, and t -shirts at Eco -Fest 2000. <br />Kirsten Gerber, student, recounted that they have made presentations to many <br />people, including the Lions Club, the School Board, the County Commissioners, and the <br />Environmental Learning Center Board of Directors. Actually, they will talk to anyone who <br />will listen. Their presentations include information about their nature trail, coastal xeric <br />scrub, acquiring the property contiguous to Pelican Island Elementary School and how they <br />intend to maintain the property and the animals and plants that live on this property. <br />Nicole Campbell, student, noted that the Eco -Troop has also had the opportunity to <br />talk with Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt and Representative Dave Weldon, who have <br />pledged their support. These meetings also led to applications for state and federal grants. <br />The students are now asking for the Board's help to continue the project. <br />Kevin Christman, student, gave a brief overview of the Eco -Troop's activities at a <br />convention in Orlando last April where they were invited to be guests of Sea World. They <br />slept at Dolphin Cove and the dolphins were watching them when they woke up. <br />Steven James, student, commented on the generous donation of Fred Wininger of <br />$25,000, in memory of his wife, Martha, which enabled Eco -Troop to buy their first 2 lots. <br />JUNE 139 2000 <br />-33- BOOK fAGE `r' <br />
