Jeanne Sauve French Immersion School, Ontario, Canada

Salut!

	The grade 5-6 class at Jeanne Sauve French Immersion School will be
describing  a small wooded area that separates the north side of the primary
schoolyard from the adjacent mall.  The wooded area is the home of poplar
trees and wild flowers.  The fall and spring puddles have sometimes been the
resting place of migratory ducks and the birthplace of local frogs.
	Unfortunately, this small area has often been polluted by careless
passers-by. The school's Environment Club, designated pupils on Earth Day
and Madame Pelton's grade one class took turns cleaning the wooded area last
year.
