Green Schools: Holocaust Crocus Plants will soon be planted

NEWS / 20 December 2010

The crocus plants will soon be planted and the Environmental Evaluation and Action Plan is being written up.

The crocus plants for the Holocaust Crocus Plants Scheme have arrived and will be planted shortly (weather permitting!). We are working closely with the Student Council to get the Green Flag. Tadgh Charles (6th Year), David Parfrey (6th Year) and I will be bringing the Environmental Evaluation and Action Plan to the attenion of Ms.Donohue and Ms. Gordon when they are completed.

Remember that we recycle batteries and that there are blue boxes around the school, including the Library. So bring in your old batteries. Suggestions are always welcome to David Parfrey, Tadgh Charles and myself. We meet every Tuesday in the History room, 1:30 to 1:45, and you're more than welcome to come.
