As President Obama prepares to address the nation this evening about the BP drilling disaster, some local New Orleans students at Success Preparatory Academy have a message for him. Second grade Science teacher, Amy Shipley, has been opening up the thoughts and imagination of her students to the importance and wonder of nature and the Gulf ecosystem, as well as the need to protect the environment from tragedies such as what we are experiencing today. This heartwarming and inspiring video is a message, a video letter if you will, to President Obama asking him to protect the fish and wildlife from the oil. Please take a look and share with your friends far and wide. Special thanks to videographer Randy Perez of Timecode: NOLA who produced the video. Jonathan Henderson is the Coastal Resiliency Organizer for GRN
