| St. Bede
School honored for environmental programs
The City of Hayward has awarded St. Bede School a 2009
School Environmental Achievement Award for its campus programs to raise
environmental awareness. The school was one of several to receive the
award April 28.
Members of the school’s Ecology Club, which promotes cleanliness
and environmental stewardship, lead a recycling program that includes
collecting recyclables from each classroom every Friday. The materials
are separated into appropriate bins by the students as well as parents
and school staff.
The students also plant flowers and vegetables and maintain the school’s
butterfly garden.
The school’s faculty was cited for its creative use of recycled
materials in student art and craft projects. Several students developed
global warming-themed experiments for the annual science fair.
