Kids & Family

Seeing the world through the eyes of children means seeing a world of hope, creativity and change.  Mrs. Green loves kids, spends time with children of all ages and cares greatly about what they have to say.  We dedicate this page to them and their families. We hope that families will help this section grow and be filled with great ideas and inspiring stories for ensuring a brighter and greener future for all our children. Be it a concept a five-year-old draws in crayon or what a mom does to save on the household energy bill- The Mrs. Green Team wants to hear about it.

Who’s Always Been Green

Did you know  that the Executive Director of the Sahuaro Girl Scout Council strongly recommended that Mrs. Green’s website have a Kids page?  Did you know that Mrs. Green is thrilled because she is all about kids?  Did you know  that on the Go Green page of the SGSC’s website, they make the assertion that “We’ve Always Been Green.” And when you think about it, isn’t that what the Girl Scouts conjures up in your mind? Being good stewards of the community and the environment in every sense of the word? Did you know that we can’t wait to fill the Kids page with great minds of the future, including Girl Scouts who will be an active part of Mrs. Green’s community?  We are so glad you do now and hope you will invite kids you know to be a part of Mrs. Green’s world!
