THUNDER BAY — Students at Pope John Paul II School have made treasure out of trash, while helping the environment around them too.
It’s all in the name of science, said teacher Sylvia Dziurda, who encouraged the class to build the Trash to Treasure in conjunction with Youth Fusion as a way to spark their imaginations. “They all really wanted the building part, so we started thinking about what we could build at our school, how we could make it a better place for everybody.”“Benches were what we wanted to build, and then we wanted to build a garden, and then we talked about who would need the garden. From there we really did a lot of work on the importance of species and a diverse ecosystem.”
Sophie Franklin, one of the students taking part in the project, said it felt great to celebrate the completion of their Trash to Treasure effort.“It’s really important for our flowers to grow and fresh air and for us too.”“Probably the painting and the benches. It was really hands on and we got to help out and build a lot of things,” she said, adding it’s great to leave a legacy for future generations.
