The SGET represents at the PS40 Benefit Auction

The SGET and graphic design artist, Bonnie Cummings (2nd Grade Parent) got together several months ago to “brainstorm” about their mission as a group in creating a piece from recycled materials that illustrates the things in nature that are precious to humans and to our earth; why we plant, recycle, don’t litter…




The kids came up with themes relating to the ocean, earth, animals and vegetation and so it began and the idea evolved…. This collage was made possible by the kids who donated recycled magazines, news papers and package filler, along with Bonnie's recycled fabrics and special papers from left over design projects (all recycled in one way or another!) This piece has a Where’s Waldo feeling, as you need to look closely to find the forest creatures and even humans that are hiding in the tree and ocean.

Hidden in the collage is “Love Our Earth” in Spanish and “Mother Nature” looking over the earth and it’s beauty.
