Delionte West II is a true freshmen that carries a 3.67 GPA, has maintained honor roll status all year, and also plays varsity baseball for Consortium College Preparatory High School.  He primarily plays catcher for his team, but with his abilities and baseball IQ, he’s called upon to play multiple positions.  He and his teammates have helped jump start this years baseball season with a 10-0 start.  This has brought positive attention to the baseball program which is currently in its second year.

Here's a picture of Delionte with his team.  He's the catcher in the center of the group:

Dear Rebecca:

I received and reviewed your Michigan Green School application. 
Congratulations! Because of the hard work from the teachers, students and
parents, Consortium College Preparatory High School has received the 2012
Michigan Emerald School designation, by completing at least 15 energy saving and
environmental tasks.  The efforts you made to complete the tasks are
very impressive.  I especially enjoyed learning of your plans
for a Green Roof.  I urge Consortium College Preparatory High
School to continue with the energy saving and environmental tasks and hope you
encourage others to follow. 
 
I will stay in contact with you regarding your certificate, banner, and the
recognition ceremony, which will be held later this spring.   Please
note that if you already received a banner you will be receiving an annual decal
to place on your banner.
 
Please let me know if you have any questions.
 
Thank you,
Nancy Gregor
Wayne County Michigan Green School Co-Coordinator ]]><![CDATA[Tree Banding Project]]>Thu, 05 Apr 2012 03:01:17 -0800http://www.consortiumcollegeprep.com/1/post/2012/04/tree-banding-project.htmlPicture
Consortium Students Participate!

The Smithsonian Institution's Tree Banding Project, a citizen science program that contributes to research about tree biomass tracks how trees respond to climate. Citizen science programs involve students and teachers like you contributing to ongoing scientific work. Students around the globe will monitor the rate at which their local trees grow and learn how that rate corresponds to Smithsonian research as well as comparing their work to other students world-wide. Once involved, you will help to create the first global observatory of how trees respond to climate! As part of this program, you will be contributing vital information to an important ecological study.

The Smithsonian Institution's Tree Banding Project is part of Shout, a collaboration between the Smithsonian Institution, TakingITGlobal and Microsoft Partners in Learning. The Shout program offers:
Online events hosted by the Smithsonian Institution that feature some of the
world’s leading scientists and environmental experts as well as representatives
of other fields who bring diverse perspectives to the issues at hand. Sessions
can be watched live in real time or in archived format in order to accommodate
all time zones.
 
  • Access to Microsoft’s Partners in Learning Network, a global community of
    educators who value innovative uses of information and communication technology,
    in order to share environmental education resources, experiences, and best
    practices with teachers around the world.

  • Engagement of students in TakingITGlobal's online community, which provides
    resources, action tools, as well as the complimentary use of content-rich
    virtual classrooms and collaboration spaces designed to deepen environmental
    understanding and stewardship, enhance the development of 21st century skills,
    and facilitate continued communication with Smithsonian experts.

  • The www.shoutlearning.org
    website that ties these elements together and provides access to additional
    tools and resources to support a range of "student challenges" – calls for
    deeper involvement that can range from capturing and sharing scientific data to
    developing youth-led initiatives for positive change.
