Blog 1: Teachers are the front line of change!
From the exterior, Connaught Heights Elementary is a one-story, grey school building. When you enter through the big gate, you come into a beautiful courtyard garden, filled with sunlight (on the days we were there), trees, planters with flowers and vegetables, mason bee homes and many bees buzzing around, birds calling, butterflies fluttering through. And this is a serious garden, the veggies are tended, growing well, healthy; the flowers are gorgeous. The K-5 children are constantly moving through the courtyard, running around, watering planters, or sitting on benches during daily quiet time–reading. It’s so peaceful to watch a child intently reading, outside, absorbed.
I was told by many Connaught teachers that the person leading this effort is Laurie Wong. Thank you Laurie, for the love, energy and commitment you bring to your profession, to children, to families, to the world!
Connaught teacher - Laurie Wong started the Climate Action Club for the students. She says the lyrics in the songs are about things the kids have been doing all year.
