Terry Fox Run

9/27/2012

0 Comments

The annual Terry Fox Run was held this past Tuesday, organized by Mme. Cynthia's Division 1 (Grade 6/7) class.

The children ran laps of the school and collected a popsicle stick after each lap. Afterwards, the Division 1 class gathered all the popsicle sticks and will use them to calculate the total distance ran by the school and map this against the distance ran by Terry.

Nice work to combine the school curriculum with a great cause!

Online Auction Preparing to Launch

9/27/2012

Our newest FUNd Raiser is preparing to launch. We are preparing for an online auction and are now collecting items to auction. We've already broken through a street value of $1,000 worth of Auction items!

Please submit more items by Friday so we can reach our goal of 12-24 items for this first (of several) auctions.

Over the course of the school year, we all already spend lots of $ on night classes, entertainment and other stuff. So do our families and friends. But why pay others? We all have something or some capability that others will pay us for!!!

Weren't there? Boy, you missed out!
The turn out was great but there were still seats to be filled. Next time (Oct 9) be sure to reserve your spot!
M. Carrier talked about technology use in the school and Tim and Toni gave an overview about this website.
We had a lot of new faces which was exciting and some super new ideas.

Have a voice at Tennyson - come to PAC meetings. The next PAC meeting will be on Tuesday, October 9.

Tennyson's First Zero-Waste Event

9/21/2012

2 Comments

Quebec 2014 is proud to announce Tennyson's first (but not last) ZERO WASTE event!

Couldn't find a garbage can at last night's BBQ?
We all saw Janine Brossard and her recycling station, but did you know that exactly ZERO "garbage" was created at the Welcome Back BBQ?

No garbage resulted from the BBQ - nothing will end up in a landfill or incinerator!

Where did it all go?

All plastics (soft/hard): Pacific Mobile Depot
All Juice boxes & plastic water bottle: Encorp
All metal/aluminium: CoV blue box recycling
All food waste: CoV green bin composting
All food based paper waste (napkins, burger paper, plates): CoV green bin composting
Paper cups: Pacific Mobile Depot

A huge thank you to Janine for making this happen.

If you'd like to join Tennyson's new Zero-Waste team, email us at ZeroWaste@lordtennyson.ca

Parents met the teachers and enjoyed dinner with friends at the 2012 Welcome Back BBQ. Thank you to Quebec 2014 (championed by Sue) and to the Tennyson community for their support. A nice evening was had by all.

Not sure what is really garbage?
Janine and her helpers know.
Thank you for the amazing garbage, composting, and recycling station, Janine. And THANK YOU for taking EVERYTHING with you at the end of the evening to make sure it gets to the right place. Tennyson thinks you are awesome!
