Bags2school will be picking up our textile recycling on Thursday morning. If you have any old clothing, bags, shoes and even stained textiles please bring them to the drop off in front of the office.
Mark your calendars as well… we have 2 more dates this year; March and June! Start decluttering now!
The Eco Club loves books! We have a diverse collection of French and English books for all ages. The books included stories, biographies and even resources for teachers to use. We use these books during the club time to help out with all our special projects and we lend them to different classes as needed.
In the winter, we start our Eco Story Time where any student from grade 1 to grade 3 can join us in the library, on Tuesdays, during the first recess to hear a story with a green theme. They do not need to be part of the Eco Club. We are so excited to begin our story time this week.
The Eco club would like to share how happy they are to see this pile of garbage bags BECAUSE they are filled with clothing and textiles donations that will be diverted from the landfill and reused or repurposed. Thank you Willy!
If you have more to donate, please drop off in front of the office by Wednesday morning, Dec 12th.
Please also keep in mind, we have 3 more pickups… The next one will be January 24th.
You can drop off all men’s, women’s and children’s clothing as well as: footwear, mittens, towels, purses, soft bags, handbags, linens, belts and hats. Since textiles are being recycled and not donated they can be in any condition, however they should be dry. The drop-off is under the Eco Club display case across from the office.
The Willy Eco Club has a super easy eco switch you can do every day! Consider packing your child’s lunch in reusable containers. No more ziplock bags or cling wrap. Just don’t forget to label the containers with their name so they can be returned to the rightful owner when lost.?
Check out the new display in front of the office created by the students in Willy’s Eco Club! Learn how long some of our common waste items take to decompose and consider using eco alternatives.
