At Victor Scott Preschool, young minds are empowered through environmental stewardship and community engagement! Our students have been exploring the world of sustainability, focusing on Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. From recycling centres to art projects with recyclable materials, they creatively explored sustainability. A special highlight was a visit from Keep Bermuda Beautiful, where students learned about the importance of healthy environmental practices. Inspired by their visit, our little ones initiated a school clean-up project, putting their new knowledge into action and making a real difference! #VictorScottPreschool #EnvironmentalStewardship #CommunityEngagement #ReduceReuseRecycle #BermudaPublicSchools
