Dear Parents/Guardians,
School
grounds and community clean up events make a difference. These actions,
although small, have significant positive impacts on the environment and
demonstrate the power of working together. In fact, if only 5% of Canada’s
population picked up 1kg of litter in one day, 1.4 million kg of garbage would
not pollute our environment!
At Charlton
Public School, we will be participating in a School Grounds Clean Up campaign
on Thursday, April 27, 2023 to demonstrate our commitment to creating a healthy
and sustainable world. Staff members will take their students outdoors to pick
up litter on the school grounds. Each student will be asked to bring gloves
(e.g., gardening gloves, dish gloves). Extra gloves will be provided to those
who need them. Students will be informed of safe and proper procedures for
collecting and disposing of litter.
Participating
in a School Grounds Clean Up will build environmental stewardship and teach
students the importance of reducing, reusing, and recycling to decrease the
amount of waste we produce. They will also learn that litter in the environment
can impact air, water, soil, and wildlife. Thank you for your support in our
School Grounds Clean Up campaign and for making a difference for our
environment!
Sincerely,
Charlton’s
Eco Club
