Here is your green tip of the week from ECO-St. Lo, your award-winning local environment group.

North Americans consume nearly 100 million tons of paper per year. For every ton of office or copier paper, two to three tons of trees were cut down somewhere. North American households receive well over 100 billion pieces of junk mail annually , consuming over 100 million trees. And around 40% of "garbage" in municipal dumps across the continent is made up of paper.

At St. Lawrence we're trying to do our part by reducing, reusing and recycling the paper that we consume.We already recycle well over 2.5 tons of paper per year.And we're trying to do just as well for plastic and glass.

We invite all members of our community to use the specially marked bins to recycle paper, plastic and glass.

WEEKEND SCOREBOARD 

Students planning to go study in the States are generally required to complete SAT testing. The test is administered by the College Board. Canadian students are considered to be international students, and therefore, must register at the latest November 8, 2011 for the December 3 test date. We strongly encourage you to apply by the October 25 (early registration deadline) if you are sure of taking the test. Students planning to take both the SAT and SAT Subject tests must do so on two separate testing days.

St. Lawrence is an authorized testing center. Students wishing to take the SAT can register for the December 3 or January 28 test dates. Although St. Lawrence is an authorized testing center, you must register online at  http://sat.collegeboard.org and pay your testing fees to the College Board. Study materials are available at your library. You may also use free online practice tools or order additional practice material. The registration booklets, as well as the preparation booklets, are available in the Counselling Office, room 254.  

Our test center code is 97261 (if you don't find our name on the list, you may also search by code). If you have any questions about the registration process, you may contact Nicole Anne Daigle, Guidance Counsellor.

 They are looking for people with:

• High overall academic achievement--especially with a passion for math and the sciences
• Creative and entrepreneurial minds
• Initiative and drive
• Excellent communications and interpersonal skills
• Leadership skills as well as the ability to work as a team member
• Participation in extracurricular activities

Applications are due by December 7, 2011 or January 18, 2012, and early applications are encouraged. 

If you would like more information, you can see me, Nicole Anne Daigle, in room 254 (library).
