April. 24 - Environmental Awareness

Highlights:
  • SWC grade 12 students came to talk to us about how we can be more environmentally friendly by reducing our use of plastics:


We learned that there are a lot of plastics used to pack lunches ....

As a solution we should try to reduce our waste by using materials that can be reused or recycled 


We also need to get more people to help out!

Here are some more suggestions:

  • We also got some great resources to help us get a head start:
Metal straws (there is free shipping until the end of April) - https://strawhutco.com/
Plastic-free YYC - https://plasticfreeyyc.com/
Crayola also has a marker recycling program- https://www.crayola.com/colorcycle.aspx
  • Social Studies - we started our "Here's what you need to know page" in our Arctic Collection Book - we created a page with different questions and answers about the life in the arctic. 
  • Gym: we went outside to play frisbee with the portables - we played a game of frisbee-dodgeball and frisbee-soccer!


Reminders:
1. Special Helper for tomorrow is : Aksel (favorite game)
2. The Coffin Cares Assembly that was scheduled for Friday has been postponed until further notice - it will not be this Friday.
3. Thank you to the volunteers who have already signed up to help us out during Swimming - if there are any other male parents or guardians with police clearance available to volunteer for swimming please let me know.
