We presented to the District Board!
Students were able to able to research statistics to share with our school about the importance of recycling the correct way. Green Team students created videos to share with our school about the importance of recycling as well as how to recycle correctly which our school was struggling with. We were excited to provide bilingual labels for our recycling bins as well as Spanish in our Green Team videos. We are planning a challenge next to see what classroom can recycle the most in the correct way.
Green Team was invited to the Board of Education meeting to share what we did with our grant in our school and how we are educating students and staff to recycle the right way.
Our school and district will benefit from this funding. We will be a pilot school for improving the state of recycling in our district. Currently many of the schools do not have a solid recycling program so we have lots of room to improve. We are in contact with the village and their staff for recycling guidelines as well as our need for new bins. We have a meeting scheduled with the head of grounds in the district to discuss how other schools recycle in their buildings. We will be using the seed money to buy appropriate bins to use to recycle. We will also be using the supplies for our "Green Team" club which will be spearheading this challenge with the staff. We will be completing activities to really demonstrate with the students the importance of recycling. We are hoping to get in a guest speaker from the village.
