Dear Evergreen Families,

Our Grade 4 students recently partnered with students from our Enhanced Education Supports (EES) class to learn how to manage the school’s recycling program. Together, they explored how to sort materials, collect recycling from classrooms, and care for our shared environment.

What stood out most was the way students supported one another throughout the process. The collaboration highlighted care, empathy, and inclusivity, as students worked side by side, encouraged one another, and celebrated their shared success.

It was a wonderful example of our school community in action, students learning together, helping one another, and making a positive difference for our school.
