On Our Way to Becoming Composting and Recycling Champs!

Funded Mar 7, 2024

Our Green Team has been using all of our composting and recycling materials to reduce waste at our school! The students were so excited to open the brand new green bins and to assemble the rolling base. Students at all grade levels are using these bins on each floor of our school building to ensure that all clean paper waste is being recycled every day.

The students were also thrilled to set up our display compost bin. We placed a cucumber, a tissue and a piece of aluminum foil in each of the sections back in March, and we have watched as the cucumber has almost fully decomposed, the tissue has partially decomposed and the aluminum foil is completely unchanged!

We have also used the the trash pickers to help keep our school community clean both inside and outside. When there have been mistakes made with waste in the classroom, the trash pickers have helped us correct those mistakes. They have also helped us clear out our tree pits of trash on the streets outside of our school. We have made incredible progress with our waste management thanks to these materials. Thank you!”

With gratitude,

Ms. Cahill
