S EEDS is a program wbere the students do a number of environmental activities tw earn there school'the tille of "Green School". The project was started by Jacqueline Hurvid and Kathleen Nicholas, tbough it was neyer expected that sucb an elaborate plan would be undertaken for a SEEDS project. Jacqueline Hurvid decided to start up the club again this year, but without the belp of Kathleen who is now a student at the Pines. Jacqueline rounded up two other friends, Marley Gimblett and Lindsay Carter, and the club continued. The club meets every Friday at noon, and during this trne they discuss environmental alternatives to the problemns that are surrounding us, work on projects, and have the occasional guest speaker. For Jacqueline it is handy having a mom that is an environmental activist. Judy Hurvid has spoken to the Club a number of times. In the past the group bas written a book about saving water. The book bas been laminated, bound and is in the school library. They are currently working on making a number of books about endangered animais, and will soon be looking'at the current rainforest crisis. -The younger students spent a lot of dîme exaniining the benefits of recycling and put together a play on this topic. Incidentally, the practice of recycling is alive and well at the school. The school has a very active recycling program, under the guidance of recycling expert, Erin Higgins. Another thing that the students do is watch Green Earth Club videos. They hope to make their own tape of the Env ironment Club, and send it te the Green Earth Club to be featured on one of their shows. The Environment Club, will flot be doing anything special for Earth Day. They believe that it is no good to only do something one day eut of the year. They do their part everyday. To them, "Earth Day is everyday«. Euchre resuits for April 15 - Lyle McMahon 84; Carl Todd 83; Don Budd 81; Velma Clarke 80; Eleanor Clayton and Tom Simpson eacb with 77.
