M-DCPS STUDENTS TO
PARTICIPATE IN EARTH PLEDGE
April 25, 2001
Students from Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) will
join students throughout the western hemisphere in a song
pledge to respect the earth on Friday, April 27, at 1:30
p.m.
WLRN-FM (91.3) will broadcast "The Pledge (An Earth Anthem)"
on its "Topical Currents" program for students to sing
along with. M-DCPS music teachers have already received CD
copies of the song in English, Spanish, Creole and
Portuguese.
The pledge will be held in cooperation with the Earthman
Project, Inc., a non-profit organization that uses music and
the arts as tools to teach children and adults that each one
can make a difference on earth. The Earthman Project is the
brainchild of environmental educator Lanny Smith.
Persons wishing to join in the effort may tune into WLRN or
obtain the music from the website, at www.Earthman.tv.
