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 30th. 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
