Bangalore, 05 June 2014: In keeping with the tradition of celebrating World Environment Day, the students of Canadian International School (CIS) Bangalore hosted a series of activities to celebrate the World environment day at its campus today. The students made thought-provoking posters and slogans to raise awareness about the environment. This was a small but determined step in creating awareness towards saving the environment.
Students did lots of fun activities to learn about the special day carrying banners and placards with messages to save the environment. They collected and used a lot of recyclable and reusable material for all of their projects. They made earth craft from reusable paper and a banner with the insightful views and comments of our great thinkers. Students wore the Earth Masks they had made and wore green/blue T-shirts to represent land and water. They did their bit to spread awareness by saying “Raise Your Voice, Not the Sea Level” which is also the theme of United Nation’s Environment Programme’s (UNEP) this year.
“Environmental awareness should be inculcated in the students right from the primary level. At CIS, we encourage students from a very young age to raise awareness and take responsibility for issues concerning the environment”, said Ms Shweta Sastri, Executive Director, Canadian International School.
