Earth News!!!
The students at SJPII have been working very hard to raise awareness about the importance of taking care of the Earth. During the month of March, we learned about Earth Hour, a global movement organized to raise awareness about climate change. This year, it was celebrated around the world on Saturday, March 30th from 8:30pm to 9:30pm but here at SJPII, we turned off all lights and electronics for one hour on Friday, March 29th.
We hope that you also had the opportunity to join the rest of the world in enjoying some quality time free of electronics and lights on Saturday, March 30th. Please continue to send in your Earth Hour stories by filling in the light bulb that was sent home or sending in a picture. By sharing our stories, we can show how big a difference, small changes can make!
Our work continues as we head into April – Earth Month! Stay tuned for new announcements about ways to help the Earth. During Earth Week, SJPII will be participating in a neighbourhood clean-up. We will also focus on getting outdoors to engage with nature, walking/biking to school and creating less waste. Although our campaign focuses on Earth month, we encourage these activities all year round! The Earth thanks us for it!
