From Waste to Wonder: Celebrating Our Winners!

Today, we are bursting with pride as we celebrate the incredible creativity of our community. Our 'Trash to Treasure' Art Exhibit - a vibrant collaboration between our students, classrooms, and the library - has officially concluded, and the results are breathtaking!

It’s been truly inspiring to see how you’ve turned everyday waste into beautiful, meaningful works of art. Please join us in congratulating our talented winners.

Let’s give all our winners a huge round of applause for their hard work, artistic spirit, and commitment to a greener planet!

LOOK‼️ From used materials to meaningful masterpieces.

We are so proud of our students' latest "Trash into Treasure" project! This Classroom-Library Collaboration challenged everyone from Elementary to Senior High to rethink waste for their Performance Task (PETA). The results are nothing short of inspiring.

From the colorful Grade 1-4 Bookmarks that make us want to dive into a story, to the stunning Grade 4-10 Minimalist Recycled-Christmas Belens, our students proved that beauty can be found in the simplest materials.
