Rationale / Mission
|
|
We envision our school looking clean by picking up daily litter, arranging a recycling program, record weather readings to monitor climate , plant indigenous plants and plant a vegetable garden for self-sustainment
|
Vision
|
|
We want to be a sustainable school because we see how climate change is affecting the planet, how litter has become a big problem, especially plastic and indigenous plants need to be planted
|
Initiatives
|
|
Our current initiatives are the weather station we have installed and daily readings being recorded and daily litter clean up is taking place. Our recycling program came to a halt due to lack of bins.
