Composting Is Coming to the Annex

11/19/2024 8:43 am

The Green Team is looking for volunteers to help launch the composting pilot at the Annex! We will need volunteers to help with different components of the launch (in-classroom activities, lunchtime support and delivery of food donations) in December and beyond. This is a great opportunity for Annex families to volunteer during the school day. It would also be a great opportunity for Big School parents to participate in our learning process to help inform the eventual expansion of the pilot school-wide.

Please complete this volunteer interest form or email the Green Team directly at greenteamsms@gmail.com.
