During the month of April the students of High Bush Public School learned about RESPECT – Respect for environment, one self, others and community. In celebration of Pickering Earth Week, the initiative wrapped up on April 22nd - Earth Day. The students invited officials from the City of Pickering and Durham District School Board to an assembly at which they presented through singing, dancing, poetry, and drama, what they had learned and initiatives they had undertaken. Another exciting part included a tour of their art exhibit that showcased what they had learned. The light bulb depicts the students names who had participated in the international Earth Hour Challenge.
