In an effort to demonstrate their school pride and tidy up their school grounds, students and staff at the Granite Ridge Education Centre in Sharbot Lake donned plastic gloves and with garbage bags in hand picked up trash in around the school property on their annual Pitch-In Day on April 23. The students collected countless bags of debris and recyclables and as a result the school property is looking much cleaner and tidier for the spring season. Mr. McVety, who teaches grade 10 Civics, and Mr. Leonard, who teaches global studies, history and social sciences at the school, were assisting their students with the clean up. School Principal, Heather Highet, said, “Winter tends to leave a lot of garbage behind and this Pitch-In Day at the school not only tidies up the school property but it is an opportunity for students to celebrate Earth Day and gives them a chance to take pride in their school and community.”
