Alton Village student projects show commitment to taking care of earth, nature

More than 400 people showed up to a spring eco fair at Alton Village Public School on Thursday evening.

Intermediate teacher Alison Wojkowski organized the event at the north Burlington school. Students prepared projects to display that showed a sincere willingness to do whatever it takes to protect the earth.

The school partnered with several local groups that foster a desire to save the earth, including BurlingtonGreen, Conservation Halton, Soaps by Nature and Backed by Bees.

The walk-through vendor fair and student sustainability leaderships displays were impressive. The evening included a screening of the CBC documentary, Curb Your Carbon.

An impressive wind farm model was located in the lobby of the school.
