In celebration of Earth Day, Richland’s PK, Grade 3 and Grade 5 classes prepared an informative and entertaining Earth Day assembly for the Richland Community.  The collaborative awareness-building presentation was a blend of Earth Day facts, poetry, music and video, which honoured the theme, ‘The Earth Matters,’ and reminded us what we can all do to help protect itAt Richland, we are committed to fostering eco-awareness and educational activities that promote environmentalism and nature within and outside of our school environment. We continuously provide stimulating experiences that deter ‘Nature-Deficit Disorder,’ which child advocacy expert, Richard Louv, directly links to the lack of nature in the lives of today’s ‘wired generation.’
