"Throughout all of these events, I have learned that I am not as alone as I once thought, and that there are many other teens who care about the environment and are willing to dedicate their time to helping preserve it." - Olivia (she/her, 17 years old)
- In the fall of 2023, the Grade 3 class at Nôtre Dame des Monts welcomed a colony of Red Wiggler worms into their classroom. Each week, the students feed the worms their lunch scraps. The budding scientists noticed how the worms are transforming their food waste into castings. One student remarked, “it’s com-poop!” Exactly. The compost they fed to the worms is transformed into worm castings ().
- For $25, you can support a worm colony for one classroom. Your donation supports students learning about food sustainability and soil science!
- For $50, you can support the cost of paint, beads and program art supplies!
