Pictures from 1999
École Van Walleghem School in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada

Grades 4 and 5 students from École Van Walleghem School participated in this project. We decorated 91 grocery bags with environmental slogans and artwork. Four students - one from each of the participating classes - then took a trip to Grant Park Safeway to deliver our bags. Safeway displayed our bags, and then distributed them to to customers on april 22 - Earth Day. We took photos of all stages of the project and put them up on the Web. This project was really fun and we hope the whole school will participate for Earth Day in 2000!
