The Environmental Defenders rocked Valley View on March 9. This 30-minute, high-energy assembly program taught students in grades kindergarten through six to identify environmental problems and possible solutions that students can do to reduce pollution. The assembly was performed by two professional children’s theater actors, Al and Polly, and their animated friends, the Environmental Defenders. The focus was on the 4 R’s (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Rethink), storm water pollution prevention, household hazardous waste and water conservation. The assembly was sponsored by the County of Los Angeles Dept. of Public Works, and presented by Valley View’s PTA.
