Litterless Lunches Starting Thursday, February 28th

   

At St. Simon, we are trying for eco- certification as an eco-friendly school. This is a student led initiative, and we are making great gains to try and attain eco-certification through Eco-Schools Ontario.

A litterless lunch project will help us to attain this goal. Students are encouraged to bring their lunches to school in reusable containers that can be taken home at the end of the day. 

This will be in full swing each Thursday, beginning this week, however, many of our students have already been bringing in litterless lunches each day.

Also, if you have a compost bin at home, students will be taking home their food scraps to compost. We get points if we have no food in the garbage cans.

Another way to cut down on litter is to use a reusable water bottle – these make great birthday gifts or treats! We already have declared ourselves a plastic water bottle-free zone.
