Waste Free Wednesdays

Green Club is sponsoring Waste Free Wednesdays in March! Every Wednesday during ALL lunches, a fourth grade green club member will check your child's lunch. If your child brings a lunch to school, we are encouraging recycled containers for sandwiches, chips, cookies, fruit, etc. (no baggies, please). We also would like to see recycled water bottles. If your child buys lunch, we are encouraging him/her to eat all of his/her lunch. We are also encouraging children who buy lunch not to take extra napkins and silverware that they do not need. Children who choose to participate will be entered in special raffle drawings and could win a prize! Please help preserve our planet and be waste free, especially on Wednesdays in March! Go Green!

Save Energy!!

Stop, Drop, and Save Energy!  Don't leave your device in the charger when it's done charging.  To remind yourself to unplug your device, you could write a note that says "take me out" or set a timer.  Turn off your light when you're not in the room and are done using them.  Turn off the water when you're brushing your teeth!  Take shorter showers.  Don't leave your computers and TVs turned on.  Power them off when you're not using them.  These ideas will help you save energy, save money, and think GREEN!   ~Kyra and Reegan

Lights Off!!


We can reduce energy...turn light bulbs off!  Change them to compact fluorescent light bulbs.  You can save 75% of energy by turning light bulbs off when you're not using them.  You will save $30 per bulb if you switch to compact fluorescent bulbs.    ~By Matthew and Justin
