McMurrich is having a waste audit done on the morning of Wednesday, June 5th. This audit is provided by the TDSB Eco Team and its success is dependent on volunteer help.

We are in need of 2-3 parents/supervising adults to record audit findings, take photographs and/or interpret for visiting classes. We will have a teacher present for the morning as well as 8-10 Jr. students who will help to facilitate set-up and auditing. Parents would need to arrive at school by 8:30 am.
This waste audit is being carried out to help with our Eco School Re-certification process and to inform our school community about our waste habits as we prepare to possibly apply for inclusion the board's green bin pilot project.
