Please congratulate Earth Optimism club members Jescie Tinio, Folakemi Uthman, and Oluwadamilola Ogunsuyi for being selected to receive two summer internships, one through the Chesapeake Bay Program/National Park Service and another paid internship through The Smithsonian Institution! This summer, these students became youth ambassador and worked with other students from across the Chesapeake Bay watershed and learned about issues currently affecting its communities and policies to restore and protect the Bay. They worked on an action project to help voice their thoughts and concerns about environmental issues and presented their findings at a summit in the fall. They also worked closely with The Smithsonian to help create a social media presence for their projects and interview other teens at the Folklife Festival in Washington DC, as well as served on a panel discussion about environmental action with other teens.

Hello CMIT! The Earth Optimism Club have been working hard to create their project plans to implement greener practices at our school. The students have plans to execute some of the first steps within the next few months. If they are awarded money, they will be able to continue their plans this school year and future generations at CMIT! How exciting! Their advocacy for the environment and conscientious efforts to be these catalysts of change here at CMIT are commendable. Their dedication showed during their presentations to the Laurel City Council, Smithsonian Institute, World Wildlife Fund, Lewis Museum, and CLF representatives last week. We are so proud of these students and their work thus far - stay tuned for updates on their progress and if they end up winning grant money!

On Thursday, May 19th, students who took AP Government and AP US History were able to spend the day in Philadelphia. During the trip, they went on a 1.25 mile tour of the more than 20 of the most historic sites, followed by a competitive scavenger hunt. I would like to thank all the students who attended for making this such a successful first field trip since COVID along with Mr. Ricci, Dr. Gaudette, and Ms. Beamon who chaperoned! Can't wait for our next field trip adventures!
