Miss McCallion’s Grade 4 students held a Polar Bear Walk and a Climate Strike on February 27, 2020, the International Day of the Polar Bear. We wanted to raise awareness for the plight of polar bears due to climate change and disappearing sea ice. We achieved a class total of 73,320 steps or approximately 55 km. We want to thank WWF-Canada for establishing this event and for providing valuable learning opportunities. Our class also adopted Arctic animals, such as the Caribou and Walrus, and are keen to learn more about how we can help save the environment.
