Reputation as a "Green" School
Over the years, ENSS has been known as a "Green" school, with regular garbage clean-ups, tree-plantings, and a heavily involved Environmental Club.[10] The environmental club runs the "Chique Boutique", an in-school thrift store.[11]
ENSS installed a wind turbine in June 2009, generating power and reducing ENSS's carbon footprint.[12] In the summer of 2011, ENSS installed solar panels on the roof of the school.
Terry Fox Fundraising
ENSS runs a variety of different fundraisers for the Terry Fox Foundation, including the Terry Fox Run,[13] a pancake breakfast, a dance, and the Hope Project.[14] Two students started the Hope Project in 2018.[15] Community members are invited to purchase bricks for the ENSS Garden of Hope, with a portion of each donation going to the Terry Fox Foundation.[15] In 2015, the school reached the milestone "One Million for Terry", after raising over one million dollars throughout their years of fundraising.[16]
