Green Team - Today is a big day! It’s Earth Day and this year’s theme is Plastic vs Planet.
We have a few school initiatives planned for today, where staff and students can do their part in helping the planet with either a Yard Clean Up and/or Lights Out!
For teachers that have signed up to take their classes outside, please wait for a member of the Green Team to deliver your materials, before going outside. (Moved to tomorrow, due to weather)
Lights Out - If sunlight permits, teachers can opt to teach with their lights off, to help reduce electricity consumption.
Also, throughout the day, teachers can choose to go through the Earth Day educational resources that the Green Team emailed out.
As you go about your daily business, ask yourself, what can you do to help protect the Earth?
Turn off the lights when you leave a room?
Pick up trash outside?
Bring a reusable water bottle to school?
Do you properly throw away your garbage in can?
Enjoy and thank you for doing your part to help protect and save the planet!"
