We held an opportunity for our members to express their creativity and make signs for the Youth Climate March in McKinney. Many of our members are very artistically inclined, so this was a great way to allow them to express their creativity and advocate for climate action. We repurposed old cardboard from previous school projects and we wrote creative, environmental sayings on them.

This Youth Climate March was an opportunity for the local youth in the Dallas/Fort Worth Area to speak out for climate action. It was organized by Zero Hour Dallas, a student-led chapter of Zero Hour, an environmental organization. At the event, there were multiple speeches urging people to advocate for the planet in numerous ways. There was also an actual march around the Collin County Courthouse.

HEAT members cleaned litter off the Stonebrook and Parkwood intersection and around Frisco High School. By adopting this street near our school, we have committed to cleaning this street 5 times per year (including Clean It Green It - near Earth Day) in order to do our part to preserve the environment and our local school community. Since we have adopted this street, the City of Frisco Environmental Services has provided us with a custom "FHS HEAT" sign to show our commitment to the community.

H.E.A.T. members came together for a long awaited project: planting plants in our school courtyard. We ultimately decided on Texas Sage, Texas Lilac, Gardenia, Snapdragon, Celosia, and Purple Kale. We planted the plants in the pots that are located in the courtyard, and they can be seen by students walking through the hallways.

H.E.A.T. members collected seeds from established native flora on the Heard Wildlife Sanctuary to aid in the rescue of the "Restoration Prairie" project. Seeds were pulled from seed-ready plants and redistributed to the latest restoration project site.The Blackland Prairie is one of the most damaged ecoregions in the state of Texas due to large-scale farming and urbanization, so this project was essential to its preservation.

H.E.A.T. members came together to make bracelets that would be later sold at lunches to raise money for The Coral Reef Alliance. Members watched as team leaders gave instruction on how to thread each different bracelet pattern and then were tasked with making their own. This opportunity was very successful in terms of member turn-out and number of bracelets made.
