St. Richard | Grade 1

Conservation Initiative: Garbage Cleanup

All St. Richard students do an annual community day cleanup every spring. On Earth Day, we show that we are caretakers of this land and that we have pride in our community. Each class is given an area within the residential neighbourhoods surrounding our school. Students take garbage and recycling bags to collect and sort the trash they find. Students get excited to see their family and neighbours thanking them for their work in the community. Students take a lot of pride in keeping their community clean. In the following weeks, the students can often be seen picking up trash independently.

This Conservation Project was made possible by
Union 52 Benevolent Society.
