Vision

As a Niagara Catholic school, we are very committed to the ECO schools program, which nurtures environmental learning and climate action. This program allows us to infill in our students the Catholic Social Teaching of being Stewards of God’s Creation.

Action

The LSF grant allowed us to complete two actions toward our school’s Eco Plan: planting a pollinator garden and a food garden. We used the grant to purchase soil, planters and herb seeds which our Grade 1, 2, 5, and 6 students and our Eco Team planted in the Peace Garden that we maintain in front of our school to encourage pollinators such as bees and butterflies to frequent the areas surrounding our school. We also purchased vegetable seeds which we planted in the children’s section of the Project Share Garden next door. Project SHARE of Niagara Falls provides essential support services that improve the lives of Niagara Falls individuals and families in need. As a non-profit charitable organization, Project SHARE has been providing emergency food and support services to residents of Niagara Falls for more than 30 years. The acronym SHARE represents support, housing, awareness, resources and emergency.
