A Message from the ECO Club

It has been a busy year for the Eco Club! From Waste Free Lunches to Earth Week activities, ambassadors have been working hard to inspire and teach the school about various environmental programs like proper recycling, and working on different campaigns like Water Awareness and Active Transportation.  On Tuesday May 22nd, a representative from Ontario Eco Schools came to O.L.A   for a site visit.  She was very impressed with our school’s green initiatives and with the students’ responses to questions posed during the walk-about.   The planting of flowers at the front of our school and in our courtyard was a huge success.  And, the Butterfly Garden continues to be a wonderful source of inspiration for staff and students alike.  A special thank you to all the students for their hard work and dedication to the club this past year.  Thank you to our staff facilitators, Mme Turchiaro,  Ms. VanHoogmoed, and Ms. Beko. Thank you to all parents and students that donated flowers for our gardens.  They look beautiful!
