Second Street Community School

Parent information & involvementStudents at our schoolCommunity at Burnaby District

Welcome to Second Street Community School!

SECOND STREET IS REDUCING WHAT GOES TO THE LANDFILL!

On November 14, 2011, Second Street launched a new pilot program, working with the School District and the City of Burnaby to reduce waste.  We have already reduced garbage by setting up recycling centres in the hallways for paper, plastics and recyclables.  Now we have six large green-coloured food waste bins in the school for composting ALL food.  This includes meat products, chips, cookies, sandwiches and hot lunch leftovers.  As well, pizza boxes and food-soiled paper plates, napkins and paper towels go in the food scrap bins.

It takes some extra thinking when throwing out unwanted items, but in a few weeks this will become a good habit.  We at Second Street care about the environment!

Winter Weather

Whenever possible, all students should go outside at lunch and recess.  They spend a lot of time sitting at desks and they need the time to stretch, run and chat with friends from other classes.  As well, they need the opportunity to play on our wonderful new playground!

As fall moves closer to winter, the weather is getting colder.  I’m no meteorologist, but I predict it will get rainier…maybe even snowier!  Please ensure that your children come to school with proper clothing to spend an hour outside—fifteen minutes at recess and forty-five minutes at lunch.

As principal, I have to make a decision about going outside or staying inside each recess and lunch period.  If it is lightly raining, I usually make it an Outside Day.  Kids who don’t like the rain can take cover and play in the undercover area or under the overhang by the portable.  Since recess is shorter, I may make it an Outside Day for recess and an Inside Day at lunch.

When dressed properly (e.g., gloves, rain-resistant hoodies, boots, sweaters), students tune out the weather conditions and eagerly take advantage of the time to exercise and socialize!

At Second Street Community School, we are committed to a respectful, joyful, and safe learning environment where we all strive to be our best.
