Have a "Green" Halloween


Halloween Tip - 

Eco Warriors when you and your family go trick-or-treating this Halloween, make sure you use reusable bags or containers that don't need to be discarded after they are used.

Cloth or canvas bags, or even pillowcases, make terrific eco-friendly alternatives to paper or plastic bags!

Have a safe and spooky Halloween!

Put Your Best Foot Forward for Walking Wednesday

Walking is a 100% cheap, green, and clean way to travel to school. It is also a great way to start your day and get your heart pumping!  Eco Warriors let's get the word out to your friends and classmates that walking is cool! Let's get the whole school walking next Wed. Nov 5th!

Let's Get Walking!

"We were made to walk, and for 99% of human existence, that's how we moved - by walking. Walking is healthy for the heart, mind and the soul."
                                                    - Dr. David Suzuki 

Walking to school is fun, healthy and non-polluting! It's a great way to meet new friends!
