Projects:
Our Student Leadership Team is also our Go Green Team. This group helps develop eco-friendly activities. We encourage reusable or recyclable lunch bags. Students created banners in art class that list ways we can help the earth and these are displayed in the lunchroom. Fourth graders recycle for the building once a week. Teachers have been encouraged to use two-sided copying and turn lights off when possible. On Earth Day, fourth graders clean up litter around school and along the Green Bay running path. Students have visited Waste Management. One of our "spirit" days is "go green day" when everyone wears green. Fourth graders watch a video on recycling and landfills. Our school newsletter is electronic. Student Leadership Team organized, implemented and promoted Nike Reuse a Shoe Program. More than 100 shoes were collected and sent to SWALCO to be turned into playground surfaces, gymnasium floors and tennis courts.
