Ecoschools Middle Schools Conference

On Thursday, February 2nd, 9 Green Team members had the opportunity to participate in an exciting Ecoschools conference. These students were: Yin, Tarindi, Cherie, Joy, Stone, Kristen, Joey, Emily and Melanie. The conference was held at Evergreen Brickworks and many other schools participated in this wonderful event.

Our members participated in many workshops, like the Marshmallow Challenge and the Waste Audit. We also learned about other schools' green initiatives through their display boards.

Each team was awarded points after they completed each challenged. Overall, SAM earned enough points to place fourth! What was the winning prize? A bird house for the school!

Overall, our Green Team members learned a lot and came away with new ideas. Stay tuned for more exciting news!

Working on the journey stick
