The Breakthrough Magnet School Seventh and Eighth grades were visited yesterday by Mary Rickel Pelletier of the Park River Watershed Revitalization Initiative. We talked about stewardship, the role of green architecture, and specifically about our green roof. Following the short presentation, the students went outside onto the roof and continued their stewardship of the environment by weeding the green roof in an attempt to allow their planting from the fall to flourish.
Mr. Dunn, a photographer from the Hartford Courant joined us on the green roof and photographed the students. One of the many pictures taken has been published on Page A3 of the 04/23/2009 Hartford Courant.
You may also find the picture and caption on the Courant’s website or by viewing the following PDF: BMS Green Roof Courant.
