Projects
We have had a green day kick-off and assemblies on reviewing recycling. We have been recycling milk cartons in the lunch room. The school purchased its own recycle bins. We recycle printer cartridges. We focus on environmental awareness. We have provided the students with refillable water bottles. The students watched a Northwood I-movie that focused on environmental awareness. The boy scouts have sold composters and rain barrels. Our parent newsletters are electronic. We have a Wiki to provide paperless information to staff members. Our student council has planted trees around our school. We have a Go Green Committee within our student council. We purchase food day sides in bulk so there is less waste. We donate used school supplies at the end of the school year to summer school and Chicago Public Schools. We encourage teachers to turn off their lights when they leave the room. Recycling is mandatory at our school.
