Things We Are Doing at St. Rita

These are some of the things we are doing at St.Rita:

The GOOS Project

The G.O.O.S stands for Good On One Side. These bins will be in every classroom to use as scrap paper or graphic organizers. We are doing this because we would like to reduce paper that still has a blank side on it in our recycle bins. We hope that the students will use these bins.

We write blurbs for the newsletter.

We do skits at the assembly.

We had Sweater Day and are having Reusable Water Bottle Day.
We make bin liners for the classroom compost bins.

We will participate in Earth Hour and hopefully have one once a week.

If anyone's reading this, share some ideas on how you help the environment at your school.

First Steps

The St. Rita Eco-Squad


Our Eco-Squad is made up of Grade 4,5 and 6 students who want to make a difference in our community keeping things green.

We would like to exchange ideas with schools from all over to find out what others are doing and what else we can do here.

Very soon we are going to post some ideas of what we are doing here and we hope to connect with some schools!
