Earth Week!

It's Earth Week here at Monck, and special activities are planned for every day of the week. On Friday, we had our Eco Assembly and yard cleanup. My monsters picked up 3 bags of garbage!

Today is wear black for lights out. Between 2 and 3 pm we will be turning off our lights and all electrical devices.

Tuesday, students are encouraged to bring a reusable water bottle (instead of disposable ones) and wear blue for water awareness.

Wednesday, students who are able to are encouraged to either walk or ride to school and wear yellow. Muskoka Trails Council and Volunteers from the community have organized a walk to school event, on Wednesday April 25th. Meet them at one of the 3 starting points: Glendale/Tamarack Trails; Westvale/Wellington Street North or at Santa’s Village Road/Ewing  Street, or join them anywhere along that route. MTC will provide accessories and refreshments. Check out Monck’s Newsletter, or MTC’s website for more information. [ http://muskokatrailscouncil.com/events-in-muskoka.php ]

Thursday: Bring a litter-less lunch: Students are encouraged to bring a lunch packed in reusable containers instead of disposable wrappers. Any wrappers will be sent home that day.  Wear white.

Friday: Make your own pledge day: Wear green. Students will be asked to sign a hand print that they will write what they can do to help reduce global warming. All these hand prints will be used to create a large silhouette of our beautiful planet.

Our journal this week is Si je pourrais changer une chose dans le monde (If I could change 1 thing on earth).

Have a great week!
