Staples Superpower your School Contest is still accepting entries

January 18, 2017 · 0 Comments

Ten environmentally conscious schools across the country will each earn $25,000 worth of new technology from Staples Canada as part of the retailer’s Superpower your School Contest.
Schools are invited to enter the contest at Staples.ca/PowerEco and share their eco initiatives for a chance to win. The contest started last month and runs until Jan. 31.
“From growing their own food to banning plastic water bottles and even making their own organic lip balm, students and teachers across the country are innovating to make a difference on our environment,” said Mary Sagat, president of Staples Canada. “We call these students and teachers ‘ecovators’ and what better way to reward them than with access to the latest tech to enhance their education programs.”
The contest, previously known as the Staples Canada Recycle for Education Computer Lab Contest, is now in its seventh year and has awarded 70 environmentally conscious schools the latest technology to empower students to learn and nurture their passion for the environment.
To help schools prepare their entries, Staples has assembled a series of resources, including excerpts from the 2016 winning school entries, a step-by-step entry guide and a set of frequently asked questions.
The contest is held in collaboration with Earth Day Canada, a national charity that works directly with thousands of schools to provide environmental resources and support.
