Today is EARTH DAY.
Earth Day is celebrated annually on April 22, and is a global event focused on protecting the planet through action, education, and sustainability. It highlights that small, daily actions—like reducing plastic, saving electricity, and recycling—make a big difference in fighting climate change and protecting habitats. We hope you’ll be able to discuss ideas in your classes today, including keeping the lights off to preserve energy.
Today is also International Administrative Professionals Day. Please come by the office (at appropriate times! ha) to say a big THANK YOU to Sam, Amrinder and Alysha for helping our school run smoothly, for helping to keep you all fed, and for making sure we all have what we need to get through our days – especially smiles.
