YOUR TURN NOW!

EDUCATION IS FOR IMPROVING THE LIVES OF OTHERS AND FOR LEAVING YOUR COMMUNITY AND WORLD BETTER THAN YOU FOUND IT. MARIAN WRIGHT EDELMAN

At QMSSS, we highly value school-community partnership and we invite you to join us on our green mission by engaging in the following:

1. Set up a kitchen garden at your place! If space is a problem, make it a vertical one too! 2. Connect more with nature and appreciate our bountiful fauna and flora!

3. Embellish your home with natural elements and do your part to preserve nature!

4. Bring your used batteries to us! We will send them for recycling! 6
