Great news for Thor College in Innisfil, Ontario!Thor College has been accepted as a Top 10 Finalist in the Majesta "Trees of Knowledge" National Competition!
The Majesta Trees of Knowledge Competition offers $20,000 to schools to focus on creating an Outdoor Classroom and improve environmental education.
In addition to erecting a greenhouse, Thor College plans to use the funds to expand on our "Greening the Curriculum" initiatives -- which includes building a butterfly and songbird garden, planting several endangered Butternut trees, and expanding our vegetable and fruit tree garden.
Last year, Thor College planted 200 trees on our beautiful 100 acre country campus, grew herbs and vegetables that were harvested for our school lunch program, and built and erected birdhouses for American Robins, House Wrens, and Barn Swallows. Thor College is also home to several horses, ponies, cows, cats, and a dog, and has a naturlized stream running directly through the country property.
From March 28th to May 11th, Thor College friends and supporters can vote at www.majesta.com and help us win our Outdoor Classroom.
