Big thanks to Joe, our presenter from Eyes of the Wild, who entertained the kids and gave us all lots of great information on all of the animals.
NEW WATER FOUNTAINS
As a result of our families wonderful support in fundraising during the 2017-18 school year we were able to purchase FOUR new combination drinking fountain and water bottle filling stations (3 singles and 1 double) to replace the aging drinking fountains around school. We've also purchased a case of filters for the fountains. These keep with our school's Green philosophy, encouraging students to use refillable water bottles. The fountains have a display which show the students how many plastic water bottles they're saving by refilling their bottle!
10/10 Update - we added up the display counter numbers from each of the four fountains and so far EATS students & staff have saved 2317 bottles by refilling their own reusable bottles from home! Great job!
