Horace Mitchell Primary School
Green Team
Our Green Team’s Recycling Program
How we went GREEN!Created Team –and solicited interest from all students in grade
three via oral/written/visual presentation
• Katie Peternell supported team with me – This was my goal with KSC!
• Heard student presentations –Shhhhhh -EVERYONE was actually selected!
• Developed process for paper collection –white/mixed bottles and cans…
• Green team Members prepared as a team a presentation for each classroom.
• Team members from each classroom are responsible for collection of recyclables. BENEFIT – lessens custodial workload
• Visited Dondero school to observe their recycling program in Cafeteria.
• Cafeteria now recycles just about everything – milk cartons (Process for draining cartons), plastics 1-7 (NOT Styrofoam containers), & compost
• Compost important to be as free as possible from contaminants/ in return we get finished compost for our gardens
