In honor of Earth Day, April 22, students from Kana:takon School helped to clean Mother Earth and assist a local non-profit agency at the same time.

The 7th graders were transported by their teachers, Mrs. Loran and Mr. Levac, to Tsiionkwanonhso:te on Kawehno:ke (Cornwall Island). The chronic care facility has beautiful grounds and landscaping that needed a springtime makeover.

The students went to work with their rakes, wheelbarrows and garbage bags, and cleaned the yard, trimming where needed and removing trash and debris.

“The elders and residents really appreciated the students efforts,” said Theresa David, Activity Director at Tsiionkwanonhso:te.

The Tsiionkwanonhso:te staff fed the students with soup and sandwiches and thanked them for their help.
