Michigan Green School

Yeah! Celebrate!! Our application for Michigan Green School status has been accepted! Great job Hutchings! We all should be very proud of this accomplishment!

Waste Free Wednesdays

Hutchings Green Club has been sponsoring "Waste-Free Wednesdays" in our cafeteria. We have challenged our students to limit their waste whether they pack or buy lunch. If students pack a lunch, we are encouraging them to not make any trips to the trash. They should pack in all reusable containers, including their drink. If students buy lunch, we are encouraging them to only take what they will eat and drink to reduce waste. In addition, napkins, straws, and silverware should be taken only when needed. Students who are "Waste-Free" are entered into a raffle for a chance to win green-themed prizes!!

Michigan Green School Application

Our application for Michigan Green School Status was submitted in February. We expect to hear back by the end of March.

Guest Speaker

Green Club was proud to host Mr. Manning as a guest speaker during our March 10th meeting. Mr. Manning spoke to us about the Asian Carp infestation, as well as other invasive species in Michigan. We learned a lot about how an invasive species can negatively impact an ecosystem. The picutures he shared were fascinating! We plan to get involved by writing our legislature in an effort to help stop the Asian carp infestation. Thank you, Mr. Manning!

Help needed!

We are in need of parent help in the cafeteria for Waste Free Wednesdays. If you are available to help from 11:50am-1:35pm on Wednesdays, please contact Mrs. Palo at paloh@howellschools.com. THANKS!!
