Get Ready L.K.S. - Walking Wednesday Is Here

Mr. Page and the Eco Warriors hope to see as many students as possible walking to school this WED. Oct 1 - this is our first official Walking Wednesday as a whole school. Walk, bike, or scooter your way to school and do your part to help the environment while getting some exercise!

Congratulations to those students who already walk or ride to school everyday! You inspire us all :)

Let's Take Pride in Our Community

It was brought to our attention that several students who go off property at lunch are not taking responsibility for their garabage!  Mr. Page and the Eco Warriors made an announcement to all students about taking pride in our community!  All students must be responsible for putting garbage and recycling into the correct bin!  

We all enjoy using the shale pit, tennis courts and swimming pool area - let's take pride in our community and do our part to ensure our community stays clean.  Please don't litter!

Mr. Page & Eco Warriors!

P.S.  A great big thank you to Dawn & Callum for their comment, quick response and action!

L.K.S. hits the Recycling Campaign Trail...

The Eco Warriors are kicking off their recycling plan with announcements and presentations to their classmates. The goal is to have everyone recycling and cutting down on paper. In an effort to reduce paper our L.K.S. staff have created blogs and websites as a way of communicating with you! Please check out Ms. Caddel's Blog @ http://lksprincipal.blogspot.com/ or click on it under Eco Links! Her blog is a quick link to all other teachers links including our sports teams and eco warriors!

L.K.S. Gears Up For Walking Wednesday!

Walking Wednesday's @ L.K.S

L.K.S. Goes Litterless

In a greater effort to reduce waste we will be asking students to participate in a complete "waste-free" lunch program effective Fri. Sept 10th, 2008.  All waste generated will need to be taken home in your child's lunch bag.  We hope that students will make a greater effort to pack a litterless lunch by using plastic reusable containers. By introducing litterless or waste-free lunches students can help do their part in reducing the amount of garbage produced and fulfill one of our initiatives this year!  Thank-you for participating! 

Welcome to the L.K.S. Eco Warriors Blog

Last year at Lambton Kingsway we started an Eco Warriors Club as a way for our students to become more involved with our EcoSchool Program.  EcoSchools is a program developed by the TDSB to make environmental awareness and action an integral part of everyday school life. The EcoSchools program focuses on four main themes: Waste Minimization, Energy Conservation, School Ground Greening, and Ecological Literacy.  Last school year we had over 80 enthusiastic participants from across all grade levels.  Our focus was primarily on garbage reduction through recycling and litterless lunches!  You might remember our garbage pile in the front lobby of the school over Earth Week.

As a result of our combined efforts  - we are pleased to announce that we were certified as a Gold EcoSchool for 2008/09.  This is a huge accomplishment and clearly indicates that the staff and students at Lambton Kingsway care about our environment. 

Today we held our first Eco Warrior Meeting of the year for all interested students. The turn out again was very impressive. 

We look forward to working with this group of students to help further develop our EcoSchool Program.

Stay tuned for our 2008/2009 initatives!
