Making Our School Community a Greener Place

On Wednesday we officially broke 2 TONS of food saved and taken to local farms. That's 4,000 lbs. which is more than the weight of a Jeep Cherokee

Since February 1st, through our breakfast waste collection efforts we have saved ...

3,117 bags of apple slices

1,202 bags of cranberries

516 bags of orange slices

655 clementines

We are making a big difference! Thank you for your help in our efforts to be a greener school!
