Dear Parents and Students,Last week's 'No Technology Day' was a great success.  Students were very determined to avoid technology and electricity and many were very moved and enlightened by our experience.We had 3 students, along with myself, who biked to school.  Many others walked instead of taking a drive or the bus.During 5th period we collected the following items from our school grounds: 240 plastic items165 paper items465 pieces of other garbageWow!  That's a lot of trash collected from our school property.  During Enhancement on 'No Technology Day', we had a classroom-based yard sale.  In selling the things we no longer need or want, we were able to make $75 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma fundraiser.  Ms Stewart was very impressed by this.  Way to go Purple Team!Students blogged about their 'No Technology Day' experience on our 'Blues News Online' blog.  See comments here: http://dt16community.nbed.nb.ca/blogs/bluesnewsonline/2013/04/23/une-jou... are some photos of our day: http://hms.nbed.nb.ca/gallery/no-technology-day-2013  Thanks to everyone who participated and supported our Earth Day cross-curricular unit.  I know the Purple Team will continue to work towards a greener tomorrow. Mlle Barrieau
