- It was February 4th, 2016 and Sweater Day at the school. Students voted for the best sweater in their class and the winners would then vote for the overall best sweater. There was a surprise prize hidden under chairs for students wearing sweaters.
- The announcements provided updates on clothing drives, sports games, library book sales, and recognized students for character traits.
- The daily message discussed how climate change requires removing emissions already in the air and a company invented a device that captures carbon from the equivalent of 14 cars' emissions daily.

11. Eco Daily Message
Climate change has reached a point where it’s no
longer just about reducing greenhouse gas
emissions, but scrubbing away the emissions
already in our atmosphere. A Calgary company
studied how trees capture carbon dioxide and
convert it into oxygen. It then invented a device
that sucks in air and runs it through carbon-
absorbing liquid. A single unit captures about 14
cars’ worth of carbon in our air every day.
12. Character Trait Recognitions
