2020-2021 Brigade verte, École Nouvelle Frontière, Grande Prairie

Grade 4 and 5 students at École Nouvelle Frontière are creating a closer connection to the environment with their Student Action Challenge project focused on waste reduction and composting. As part of their project, students will collect the waste from their lunches throughout the school year and create a mountain of trash – a visual representation of the impact they have on the environment and a reminder to work to reduce their impact. The funding from the Student Action Challenge will support their school garden by allowing them to integrate a vermicomposting system, fertilizing their garden and producing local produce.
