Mr. McLean, Ms. Perry and 10 Grade Seven Students' will be attending the Middle School Eco Conference on Thursday Jan. 21st, 2010.
The EcoSchools Middle School Conference aims to channel students’ idealism and build their skills and knowledge to organize green initiatives in their schools. This year’s conference takes place at the Earth Rangers Centre where students will have a chance to see for themselves how amazing a “green building” is and how it works.
Awakening students’ creative thinking shapes our program. Activities include a playful systems thinking exercise; a fresh look at assessing and reporting on school waste; and new ideas for developing engaging campaigns. Earth Rangers staff will also present a lively interactive session that will stimulate students’ connection to nature. Time for teams to begin planning next steps for starting or improving their EcoSchools program is built into the day.
We will be sure to write about our day!
