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!
Mr. McLean, Ms. Perry & Ms. Shklar
