Mrs. Greene's classroom raised $525

Help Team Greene Go Green

My students need hands-on science kits to explore science curriculum on soil and conservation, and containers to start a recycling project school-wide.

Please help "Team Greene" with our mission to help our school go "green". I teach third grade in a Title I, high poverty elementary school in a small community. What we lack in supplies and resources is somewhat countered by my faculty's drive to show children a love of learning, a supportive administration and a commitment to fostering good citizens and community support within our school walls and out in the community.

Our school has a Waste Management recycling bin within our school parking lot but we currently have no system of collecting materials that could be recycled within our school. With a cafeteria that sells many canned drinks and bottled water as well as wastebaskets full of paper that could be recycled, I know we could be doing a better job of saving our planet by a simply having supplies to collect materials that could be recycled. By introducing small recycling bins within grade-level classrooms and utilizing a "Team Greene" of 40 inspired 3rd-grade children to collect materials daily, our classroom could inspire a school-wide recycling project.

Our "Team Greene Goes Green" project will not only benefit the two third grade classrooms I teach in the current year but inspire classes for years to come. Beyond our classroom walls, this project can impact our entire school and inspire others to be stewards in caring for our Earth. Our plan is to provide recycling education and collection bins around our school to foster good conservation/recycling habits school wide. The Go Greene team will experience soil experiments, compost bins, recycling paper projects and many more science experiments through the science teaching kits presented in our proposal. We then plan on using our classroom webpage and blog to present what we have learned to other classrooms and community agencies. Finally, helping us acquire supplies to begin collecting recyclable materials school-wide will impact our school in all grade-levels.

Our classroom cheer is "Go Greene" but your donation can help us really "Go Green" on a school-wide level. Help me educate our students in conservation science curriculum in a hands-on, real-life applicable way and inspire many children and adults to increase their efforts to be stewards of our planet.
