Dear Families,
What a great week we had! We held our monthly buddies activity on Tuesday. It was impressive to see our older students taking ownership of teaching the younger grades how to compost. Next week, we will start composting in the cafeteria! We hope students and staff welcome this initiative to help our community.
Report cards went home today along with many other important assessment updates. Please check your child's folder or backpack.
With gratitude,
Stacy
We will begin composting in the cafeteria during lunchtime next week.
4th and 5th graders will start on Tuesday, and then we will add the other grade levels.
In the first months, students will be asked to stay seated, and a lunch monitor will move around with the composting barrel. We will work step by step on the first days to follow the new composting protocols in the cafeteria.
Check the slides that will be presented to students during the week to help them classify what is compostable and what is not.
We are also planning on having composting expectations posters, like the ones we have around the school.
Let's all work together to make our Planet Earth a better place to live!
