Holy Name of Mary Students Learn about Climate Change

February 2, 2010

Students at Holy Name of Mary Academy recently had a special visit from former student, Michelle Slaney, who is currently an advisor to the Minister of Climate and Energy in Copenhagen, Denmark. Michelle dropped by the school during her visit home for the Christmas holidays to talk to students about the issue of climate change.

Years before climate change was widely accepted by the general public as a global threat, Michelle was studying the impacts of climate change on boreal forests. Michelle has spent the past three years working with climate change policy and represents Denmark on issues relating to International climate change policy and negotiations.

Michelle delivered her message to the students and they discussed ways they could make a difference and raise public awareness of this important global issue. The students were very enthusiastic about climate change such that they have formed a group to help educate the entire school and community about their role in protecting our environment.

St. John Bosco Students Give Back to their Community

January 28, 2010

This past Christmas, some of the Duke of Edinburgh students at St. John Bosco decided to give back to their community by helping to shop for and prepare Christmas hampers for a number of families in need.

While on their shopping trip to Sobeys (Howley Estates) on Merrymeeting Road, the Duke students channeled each isle armed with a shopping list and a budget. They caught the eye of the management of Sobeys who were impressed not only by their initiative but also by their behaviors and attitudes. As a result, they donated many items for inclusion in the hampers.

Thank you to our students for their willingness to help those in need and to Sobeys for recognizing the good work that our young people do!!
