Congratulations to the students and staff at St. Angela Merici CES! We are so proud to share that they have been awarded First Place in the City of Vaughan’s Earth Hour Banner Competition.
This year, the City of Vaughan invited students from the York Catholic District School Board and York Region District School Board to share their vision for the future of our planet through creative banner designs. Out of seven entries, St. Angela Merici’s submission rose to the top, a wonderful reflection of the creativity, talent and environmental awareness that our students bring to everything they do.
In recognition of this accomplishment, the school received a certificate signed by Steven Del Duca, Mayor of Vaughan, along with a $250 prize. The winning banners were displayed at Vaughan City Hall during this year’s Earth Hour celebration.
Congratulations to grade 7 students Sofia Antoniazzi, Sophia Merenda, Ave Torbidone, Elise Manase, Ire Folorunso, Ariel Mckenzie, and to the teachers who supported them throughout this project, Mrs. Fini and Mrs. Salini!
We also want to thank the City of Vaughan for providing so many opportunities for our students to get involved in environmental initiatives. Partnerships like this one help young people connect their learning to the wider community and inspire them to become thoughtful stewards of our planet.
