Since the school year started in May, we have continued our commitment to Environmental Education through a series of initiatives designed to engage students in conservation and sustainability. We have implemented a broader recycling program across the school, encouraging students to sort waste, reuse materials, and reduce single-use plastics. Each class has its own waste separation system, which has fostered personal and community responsibility.
Additionally, we have introduced a school garden where students, from the youngest to the oldest, actively participate in growing vegetables, and herbs. This garden not only serves as a practical educational tool but also promotes healthy eating and self-sufficiency. Students learn about the plant life cycle, the importance of biodiversity, and the benefits of organic farming.
Finally, our students in fourth through seventh grade are committed to participating in a monthly beach clean up along with local business owners and residents. We hope these hands on experiences will create a lasting impression on our students and help them establish ecological practices as part of their daily routines.
Please consider a contribution to keep this program alive! This program requires a lot of man power, and your donation will go towards keeping the school and it's programming staffed!
