Queen Mary: will have their 2nd annual Chalk Motif- all the students will have chalk to draw EC pictures on their school yard
Charles Hulse LOCO posters/the grade 5 class helped do the school audit
Agincourt- have a spirit day once a month the theme is always to do with the environment
Cambridge: has an active gardening program- they'll be planting flowers in big tubs around the school. The neighbours inthe area look after the plants and trees over the summer.
