Tyendinaga Public School Winners!

June 22, 2010

Pitch-In Canada named Tyendinaga Public School one of its "2009 Top Collectors" in the National Cell Phone Collection Program. They ranked 10th in the country along with other schools, environmental clubs and community groups. Through this program Tyendinaga staff and students collected 234 cell phones and a total of 6467 cell phones were saved from Canadian landfills last year.

Tyendinaga staff and students also had a great “Pitch-In Tyendinaga” week, last week with all classes participating in cleaning up the school yard. The EarthCARE team under the direction of teacher rep Lisa Williams had an assembly kick-started by the Blue Man Group with a wake up call to save the environment. The video was projected by the new Elmo unit and was well received by all. The EarthCARE team also asked students and staff to support Earth Day by wearing green and blue colours.

It was a very busy and successful week – take a bow Tyendinaga staff and students!
