ECORAMA - BNS's Earth Day celebration - We welcome Volunteers !
Wed, Jun 3 1:29pm

Dear Families,

Happy Spring!

Each year, our entire school community comes together for ECORAMA. This annual event is our unique version of an Earth Day celebration wherein we explore stewardship, alternative energies, upcycling, the BNS Farm, and natural resources through a wide variety of activities. All  ~650 of our students, Pre-K - 5th grade come out to participate in these activities.
This event is a huge undertaking and we welcome volunteers!
 
Would you be interested in helping to run an activity ?
• The activities will run from 8:45am - 11:00 and from 12:00 - 1:30. You could join us for the morning, the afternoon, or both.

• We also welcome volunteers who can assist with setup and cleanup of the materials. If you can volunteer before school (beginning at 7:30 AM) or right before dismissal (1:30 - 2:15), we will have lots of tables to set up or break down and activities to set up or clean up.
 
• If you are able to jump in to help or if you have questions, please email Rachael Wilde, rachaelwilde@bns146.org and Shelley Bissessar, shelley@bns146.org
 
With gratitude,
Johanna, Rachael, & Shelley
