Maynooth Public School staff and students hosted the northern fall training. Under the direction of their EarthCARE coordinator L. Resmer, the Coe Hill team prepared plans for this coming year.

Darleen Wolters-Sword, the HPEDSB's Environmental Technologist assisted with the fall training. Recycling will receive a stronger focus during the 2006-2007 school year.

Training "Kick Starts" School Year for EarthCARE Teams!

November 13, 2006

Approximately 250 staff and students participated in the recent fall EarthCARE training held on October 2nd and 3rd and on November 2nd. The goal was to have every school in our district represented and trained this fall.

The focus of the half-day training was celebration and planning for Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board. Last year's successful results such as the $150, 000. 00 energy savings were shared. All participating schools seemed very proud of the accomplishments in their first year of this initiative. Ideas were shared and future school activities were discussed and planned.

The focus for this school year is to build on the successes of the past year and to out-perform last year in all areas of energy, waste and water reduction.

Based on our current results Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board will be an enthusiastic and successful team. Way to go, HPEDSB!
