MSD

Dear parents,

Over the past several of weeks in science, students have been learning about the waste in our world. A large part of this unit is about 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). It will begin on October 30^th. We are encouraging the children to bring lunches that include very little to no waste (i.e., tupperware containers, reusable drink bottles, compostable items etc.).

Throughout the next few weeks, students will be tracking all of the waste that they produce and at the end 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, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your support!

Mme Allyson
