Dear parents,
Over the past couple of weeks in science, students have been
learning about the waste in our world. A large part of this unit is on the
effects of garbage on our environment. For this reason, we are starting a
wasteless lunch program in both grade 4 classes called MSD (mercredi sans
déchets/ Wednesdays without Waste), beginning on November 4th and
ending on December 2nd. We are encouraging the children to bring
lunches that include very little to no waste (i.e., tupperware containers,
reusable drink bottles etc.). Throughout the next month students will be
tracking all the waste they produce and at the end of the month we will
summarize the results. Our goal is to make students aware of just how much
garbage can accumulate in a short period of time. If you could help ensure your
child brings a wasteless lunch on Wednesdays for the month of November, that
would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your support!
