The Kindergarten students planned and executed a school-wide campaign to raise awareness for energy conservation. They prepared posters and announcements, then visited each class to take pictures of everyone. Each class had almost 100% participation.
Regular activities that support the environment and occur daily or weekly include: turning off the lights when all the students leave the classroom; each classroom has a juice box collection basket; waste free lunches are encouraged (avoid use of plastic wrap or any disposable items ) and parents are regularly asked to donate items which are no longer useful in the home - items such as fabric, yarn, stickers and buttons for art projects.
At staff meetings, for breakfast club, and for staff potluck lunches, we use reusable dishes rather than disposable.
All students and staff were encouraged to participate in National Sweater Day. This is a day where we turn down the thermostat and put on a sweater instead to show how easy it is to conserve energy.
In class 7A we use 1 air conditioner to save energy.
