Hello JLPS Family,
Exciting news....JLPS IS GOLD CERTIFIED!
Recently our hardworking ECO Team submitted our school application to be considered as part of our ECO Schools Initiatives. With tremendous hard work from the whole school we just received the news....in our very first year we have already achieved Gold status. This is an amazing feat, for such a new school.
Here is
the committee's feedback: " Wow—a
truly exemplary first year with Ontario EcoSchools, Johnny Lombardi PS! It is
evident that the staff and students in your school and on your EcoTeam are
passionate about the environment. Way to rise up to the challenges of
conserving energy and minimizing your waste through effective and consistent
communication. We love your “Energy Hog” campaign and how you place magnets on
classroom doors to communicate to classes how they are doing with conserving
energy. It was a pleasure to come and visit your school and see firsthand all
of the great things you are doing for the environment. Keep up the great work,
and we look forward to more submissions next year!"
A special thank-you goes to the following teachers for their leadership: Mrs. Sierra, Mrs. Colussi,
Mrs. Tsambourlianos and Mrs. Estragadinho.
