One of the goals of our Eco-School
initiative at Ventura Park and of the York Region District School Board is to
teach and reinforce with our staff and students about the importance of the
3Rs…Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. We ask that
parents ensure that all students bring a Litterless/Boomerang
Lunch with them to school every day by packing their snacks and lunch items
in reusable PLASTIC food and water containers. Students will be directed to
bring paper/plastic products that are used to wrap food and plastic, disposable
water bottles back home with them for disposal in their home recycling/garbage
receptacles to reduce our waste at school. If we
all do little things, the result will make a BIG difference on our environment!
PLASTIC CUTLERY IS NOT SUPPLIED BY THE SCHOOL SO PLEASE REMEMBER TO PACK
A SPOON OR FORK IN YOUR CHILD’S LUNCHBAG.
