December 20, 2011

Team Moira once again works hard to encourage others to participate in EarthCARE!

A trading card activity used cardboard boxes for the Incentive delivery. Thanks for reusing!

Students at Tweed-Hungerford pledge to work hard for the environment this year!

Over 200 students and staff attended the recent EarthCARE trainings held at Wm. R. Kirk. School Teams eagerly responded to the team- building activities led by Team Moira. School banners, Trivia quizzes and projects with recycled materials engaged teams in much environmental discussion. Environmental resources were shared by Curriculum Coordinator, Randy Votary; Energy and Environmental Technician, Sarah Cormier and EarthCARE Coordinator, Veronica Ford.

A Trading Card Activity provided a format for team celebration of past successes and future planning. For example: Madoc Public School was proud to note that last school year, they

had an EarthCARE Play Day
made many environmental announcements
made poster
performed drama presentations
had garbage pick-ups
purchased and installed new blinds for the school
had litterless lunches
participated in LOCO (Lights Off, Computers Off) and
led a June assembly

Teams were reminded to take the EC incentives (aluminum reusable water bottles, solar flashlights, Frisbees and more) and the many posters provided by The Ministry of The Environment.

Take a bow, EarthCARE teams. You continue to make a difference!
