Eco
Schools Initiative
By: Courtnee Lloyd
If you’re interested in making a difference then Eco Schools
Initiative could be for you. This is a brand new club created by Mr.
Hartman. Every Tuesday and Thursday after school, the meetings are
held where about thirty students participate. The club’s activities
consist of helping to decrease garbage and energy in the school
community. Just last year the school introduced full scale recycling
and this year Eco Schools Initiative introduced composting. Every
Tuesday and Thursday students participating in this club stay in the
cafeteria on their period three or four lunch to help other students
with composting and recycling. In this club you will also have the
opportunity to go on camping trips to Allegany and Bark Lake. Some
major upcoming events are a fundraiser for poinsettia plants which
will be taking place in early December. This fundraiser will help to
buy trees to plant in front of the school and to also decrease of
cost of the camping trips. In the New Year there will be a campaign
to increase donations to buy trees to plant all over the school.
Members would like to plant sixty trees honoring Notre Dame’s
sixtieth anniversary. Eco Schools Initiative welcomes anyone in the
school community or even outside the school community to help raise
awareness to reduce garbage and energy.
If going green is your
motto, then contact Mr. Hartman at anytime and make a difference in
your community. |
