A week before Earth Week, students will work with their advisory classmates to build a butterfly feeder (grades 5 and 6) or a bird feeder (grades 7 and 8). On the first day of Earth Week, the winners for both the butterfly and bird feeder will be announced during assembly. Winners get a pizza party!!

The bird feeders will eventually be hung on trees in the MS and HS courtyard where the feeders will be put into use.

The E-column is a year-long science project in grade eight. Students build and maintain a self-sustaining ecosystem, consisting of three chambers; the Terrestrial chamber, the Aquatic Chamber, and the Decomposition chamber. This project allows eighth graders to explore the reliance of different components in ecosystems and the effects of uprooting a small part. 

In December of 2024, G8 students added mosquito fish to their functioning aquatic chambers; some selected pregnant females, who gave birth to multiple fish. 

This year, we aim to spread awareness on sustainability and Eco-Council's projects through Eco Bytes. 

During middle school assemblies, our Core Council or Media & Awareness members will give a quick 'byte' into topics our council is focusing on. The first SY 24-25 Eco Byte was a reminder to participate in BYOC and the effects of bringing your own container. 

b"?The BYOC Patrol Audit waHbgs conducted over 3 days - March 8 (blue), March 22 (red), and April 19 (yellow). House points were awarded to houses for each person who participated in BYOC. As we can see from the graph, Cobras earned the most house points on the first audit, while on the last data collection the Tamaraws triumphed over the other 7 houses.
