School Needs to Become Green. Help Us Make This Happen

Help me give my students materials to help make our school more green. We need grow lab, compost bin, recycling bins

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Bruder's classroom raised $485

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students have learned that there are many needs within our school to be green. We would like to be able to grow fruit, compost our foods within our school. We want to cut down on waste and take recycling more to heart. We would like to be able to have one recycling bin per floor to start. Our students want to help the custodians make waste reduction a reality in our schools.

Being that all school will need to start composting in March of 2024, we would like to help make this a reality at our school.

We feel having the bins to make this a reality will start the process moving . Our students know that we must take action and make this happen.
