Keep Sugar Land Beautiful

In May, KSLB and the City of Sugar Land partnered to present two highly entertaining environmental education programs in local public and private schools. Water, Water Everywhere, a comical show about water quality issues featuring Jack Golden, reached over 2000 students and 90 teachers. With the help of H-GAC grant funding, Steve Trash's magical mix of illusion, comedy, and ecology entertained and impacted over 3,100 students and 140 teachers.

Kiva Mann, TelfairLife Coordinator for Newland Communities’ 2,018-acre Telfair master-planned community, presented a $4,000 donation to Keep Sugar Land Beautiful Executive Director Vicki Gist and Margaret Hall Spencer, president of the board for KSLB.  The donation was part of a community-wide celebration held on National Arbor Day, April 24.  Fifth-graders from Cornerstone Elementary School in Telfair made speeches about the environmental importance of planting trees, and each student took home a live oak sapling donated by Houston Landscape Unlimited.  The event ended with the students helping to plant a live oak tree across from their school.  It was the third annual Arbor Day celebration at Telfair, located at U.S. 59 South and University Blvd.
