Caleb's 1st "Green" Project: A Success!
So, I thought I start a small blog on our school's efforts to become more "Green" by educating students, staff, families, & our community.
Dec. 2009: Recycle "CD" Ornament Project. Grades K-5 made holiday ornaments out of "used" cd's. In each class a small presentation on the 3 "R's" were discusssed (i.e. Did you know that it takes 1 million years for a glass bottle to dscompose? Over billions of soda cans still get thrown away every year, etc.). Recycling logo was glued on "text side" of cd, and decorated w/glitter, stickers, etc. The ornaments were then sold for $1 each to raise money for our "Green Team" projects. We raised $196! Thank you.
Composting/Worm Assembly to be held on Feb. 24th @ Caleb Greenwood! Thanks to the folks @ the Worm Farm in Durham, CA.
First "Green Team" mtg. on Jan. 13th @ Tueplo Coffehouse, 6 p.m.
