Photos From Earth Hour Day

Clairlea celebrated Earth Hour the whole day. Here are some photos documenting this beautiful day that kept power on the back burner, so to speak.
Mr. Knierim was all smiles before turning off the staff room photocopiers for the day. Teachers and staff managed to make it through an instructional day without worksheets while children rejoiced and trees raised their branches in praise.
These babies are usually treated like beloved friends. Today, they sat idle, like spurned lovers.
Not the set of a horror film, but the hallway on the second floor of Clairlea. We kept the hallway lights off all day. Only emergency lights were kept on. The hallways were a lot brighter near the windows as you'll see in the photos below.
Room 204 did a few green activities today. One such activity involved rummaging through blue boxes to find random texts that would be used to create "found" poems.
From trash to treasure, students got busy and created some highly entertaining and occasionally mysterious poems.
Plundered Forest Valley trip form becomes a curious poem. While the poem below has something to do with the word "March."

Thanks to students, staff, and families for making this day a green success.
