Brittani Hite '05 Works With Middle School Students
Fifth Grade students have been working with Texas Trees Foundation on a special project to plant 3,500 trees in South Dallas through the South Dallas Greening Initiative!
In World Geography class, Fifth Graders have been studying deforestation in Central America, and also learned about urban heat areas in our city, why certain areas of the city have fewer trees and more concrete, and the environmental impact of planting native trees. They used data and Google maps to recommend areas of the city that would benefit from more trees and then met with Brittani Hite ’05, Founder and Strategic Director of Ethos Equity, who is also working with the Texas Trees Foundation on the grant. Brittani spoke to students about finding your passion to start a business, and how working on something you care about that aligns with your values gives you purpose and meaning in life.
