The Composting Pilot at the Annex Has Launched!

11/19/2024 8:43 am

Our Kindergarten and 1st grade students kicked off the program and did a fantastic job learning about composting and sorting their lunch waste.  Java's Compost visited the Annex to train all students and lunchtime staff, and the students got to practice separating food waste at lunchtime.  We were so impressed with their enthusiasm and how quickly they caught on!  

We appreciate the commitment and enthusiasm of the Annex staff and parent volunteers who have brought this idea to reality.  Stay tuned for updates on our composting progress!  

All are welcome at our last Green Team meeting of the year, this Friday, December 13 at 8:15 in the Big School cafeteria!  Come to discuss our composting, gardening, and campus clean-up initiatives, along with any new ideas you may have.  

Meetings are generally held on the Final Friday of each month (except when it conflicts with a school holiday).  Upcoming meetings: December 13, January 31, and February 28.

If you're interested in volunteering, please complete the volunteer interest form or email the Green Team directly at greenteamsms@gmail.com.
