As an Ontario EcoSchool, we join with hundreds of other
educators who also recognize the importance of tending to the
Creation, teaching and learning about energy, innovation and
looking creatively for solutions to global issues – both
connected with the physical environment and with human impact,
public health, justice and equality. These are all part of the
route an innovative school must take. An EcoSchool addresses
what is taught, how we run our school and how we design and use
our school grounds. Its central focus is supporting students and
staff in caring for and protecting the environment where they
spend so many hours every week. It is a big job that entails our
curriculum leaders, facility services and caretaker,
administrators, students and parent representatives devoting
monthly time as an EcoTeam. The EcoTeam spearheads projects that
address ecological literacy, conservation of energy,
minimization of waste, greening our school grounds and
purchasing environmentally thoughtful products.
As an Ontario EcoSchool with Silver certification for the second
year in a row, we have been recognized by exceptional outside
standards as being on the right track.
We are teaching our students to “pray with their feet”, to
actively engage in tikkun olam (the repair of the world) and to
re-engage in a sense of awe and wonder. We continue to teach
today’s children and the future generation that our actions can
and will make a difference.
