Congratulations Eco Team!

Congratulations to Silver Stream and our EcoTeam for receiving the level of SILVER in the certification process.  Our Eco Team has worked hard this year to create messages about the need to reduce, reuse and recycle to protect our planet.  They have educated our school about the waste generated in using water bottles and sold Silver Stream reusable water bottles with all proceeds going towards raising money for planting another shade tree for our school yard.  

With the addition of the Swiss Chalet lunch program this year, our eco team worked to educate our students about the most environmentally friendly way to dispose of the packaging and encouraged our students through announcements and visits to the classroom to take their containers home and reuse them. 

As part of the certification process our teachers also need to provide evidence of their lessons and activities that support environmental initiatives and understanding. 

Thank you to Ms. Din-Lovinescu, Ms. Sarcevic and Ms. Mikelsteins for your time in supporting our students this year.
