Notre Dame Virtual School’s theme for March invites us to consider travel choices and their impact on our common home. Inspired by the UN’s ACT NOW campaign, we encourage students to become change makers through thoughtful transportation, recycling practices, and care for creation. We are working to simplify navigation for phones/tablets.

NDVS Theme for March
Travel connects us — to one another and to the Earth. Every journey we take leaves a footprint. This month we explore how our transportation choices can reduce carbon emissions, protect ecosystems, and promote global solidarity.
Leo’s Corner — Peace & Social Justice
Leo’s Corner — Peace & Social JusticePeace begins with the choices we make each day. When we choose sustainable travel, we respect the dignity of all people and care for the Earth entrusted to us. Small acts, multiplied by many, create pathways to justice and hope.
Student Corner — One Action
- Walk, bike, or carpool when possible.
- Learn about public transportation in your community.
- Reduce, reuse, and recycle while traveling.
