SilverBirch books are an inspiration! By: Abrish and Richa

After reading one of the new SILVERBIRCH books entitled “OFF TO CLASS”, this is what Abrish and Richa had to say:



If I could go to any school in the world, it would be Dr. David Suzuki Public School. This school is the same as Forest Manor or everybody else’s school but they also learn how to save the environment. It is an inspiration to lots of kids because it shows you why saving the environment and using it properly is important. Dr. David Suzuki Public School even has solar panels to produce electricity and that is very cool because some solar panels can run the whole school. They used lots of other designs inside and outside the school to help the environment and to keep it clean and beautiful. They are the most eco-friendly school in Canada…maybe we can be like them one day too!
