GO GREEN MONTH:  Last Friday, we kicked off our GO GREEN month’s activities with an assembly.  Students are reminded to take green actions in their classrooms and at home.  Students will be keeping a “GO GREEN” chart in their classroom to record these actions.   Recycling is one of these actions, so students are encourage to bring from home their cleaned and sorted paper, glass, aluminum, and plastic containers for recycling.   Also, remember to wear green each Friday this month.

GO GREEN CLASSROOM COMPETION FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD AND ELEMENTARY - We encourage you to keep these celebrations active in your classrooms, as we celebrate Earth Day this month.  The environmental science students should have bought a poster chart to your classroom.  On this chart, your students can keep track of their "green" actions.  They may add a dot/stick/X to each box when they:

- Recycle aluminum, paper, or plastic in the appropriate bin

- Save energy by turning off the computers, lights, and fan when leaving the classroom

- Conserve resources by using both sides of the paper

- Prevent waste production by using a reusable lunch box or thermos

Please speak with your students about these "green" actions and encourage them as they chart their progress.

Environmental science students will award classes who fill up their charts.  If you have any questions, please let Ms. Christina Agurcia know.
