Grades 5/6: Food Waste Awareness Day
Fifth and sixth graders from student council and the Green Club teamed up to collect and weigh food waste during 5/6 lunch this week. In science, they are learning important lessons about conserving our natural resources along with service learning on the issue of poverty (Grade 6). During the next four weeks, students will help conduct an education blitz on campus about topics like our carbon footprint.
