Feature A Teacher

"Feature a Teacher” introduces an inspiring teacher in the division who is integrating sustainability in his or her classroom.

Kyle Lizotte is a Grade 5 teacher at Crestview School. He is a graduate of both the University of Winnipeg and the University of Manitoba and has been teaching in the St. James School Division for the past 6 years at the grade 4 and 5 levels.

Kyle describes his interest and integration of sustainability into his classroom this way:

"At Crestview School we are heavily involved with a variety of sustainability issues and awareness activities that have involved students at all grade levels throughout the school year. I truly believe that the more we focus on the aspects of sustainability and global citizenship with our students now, especially at a young age, the more likely they will carry these habits on throughout the remainder of their lives. We are educating the leaders of tomorrow who will ultimately be responsible for continuing to make a positive impact on the world for generations to come. The link between education and sustainability is a necessary one that we at Crestview try to incorporate each and every day.”
