This year we are working on making EINY more sustainable! We are implementing recycling stations in all three buildings, which will enable children and adults to recycle paper/cardboard and plastic/metal/glass items in the whole school.
At school, we are working on recycling classroom and lunch items with the children. Don’t hesitate to talk about it at home as well! As educators and family members, it is our responsibility to show a good example to our children, who will become the future citizens of the Earth.
Many children volunteered and presented beautiful texts and/or drawings to become Green Team Leaders: we will soon be able to make sure every student (and every adult!) at EINY is able to sort trash and recyclables properly and is more aware of environmental issues.
