Two Wilma Hansen students shone recently in a bid to win a cash grant. Cameron Edwardson and Dominic Peterson (with guidance from Mrs. Stiles) submitted a proposal to the
Jack Leslie Youth Environment Grant committee with the hope of getting some help making the school a better place.
Click here to read the acceptance status and the bid for the grant. Look for the upgrades and additions to the school library garden, its going to be a great place to relax/read/study. Stay tuned for pictures and updates as the project progresses.
Join the Parent Association and the school in congratulating these young leaders for their great work.
The following is the write up from the awards banquet
Wilma Hansen School Leaves and Literature - $1000
· Wilma
Hansen School has been undertaking several environmental projects
within their school, the latest will be creating an indoor garden in the
school library. Students will design, plant and ultimately care for
the garden, all while promoting literacy within their school by
encouraging students to use the space. Wilma Hansen students will
research appropriate plants, purchase all of the materials including a
fountain to maintain humidity for the plants to survive and will
ultimately care for the garden. Students will learn about eco-friendly
spaces, planting and transplanting and the importance of plants in
their environment.
