ECOSCHOOL CLUB HAS A GOLD STATUS

Here at Franklin St. P. S., we are very conscious about preserving our environment for future generations. The Ecoschool Club has started and will take place every Wednesday. The Ecoteam is targeting to reduce waste in the school and to reduce Energy comsumption as well. Our initiatives are recycling, composting and litterless lunches. To help preserve our Gold status, please help us by having a litterless lunch for your kid:

WASTE-FREE LUNCH TIPS

o Get children to help pack their lunches with healthy foods.

Only pack as much food as your child will eat.

Use a reusable lunch bag/box for carrying a lunch.

Use a refillable bottle for drinks – it’s cheaper and children can save drinks for later.

If you choose to use a single-serving container, please make sure it is recyclable in your child’s school.

Put sandwiches, muffins, etc. in ‘Tupperware’-style containers, instead of plastic bags. Label

all containers with your child’s name so they have a better chance of coming home.

Avoid pre-packaged, single-serve portions of snacks.

Put re-usable napkins in your child’s lunch box.

Prepare extra food at dinnertime and use the leftovers for lunches. Minimize the morning

rush by packing lunches the night before and refrigerating overnight.

 Interested in joining the Ecoteam? Please contact Mr. El Aziz ext 114
