Why bother with these green efforts anyway?

The mission of these green efforts is to increase awareness within the South Arbor community of our relationship with the environment and our use of renewable and nonrenewable resources. 

In working toward the Michigan Green School Certificate, these projects create natural spaces as well as teach self-sufficiency.  They also replenish our use of paper and model the use of alternative energy.  Additionally, these projects are engaging and get students moving and active in the outdoors.

We plan to highlight some of these efforts at the morning assemblies. Look for updates here and well as in the weekly parent emails. More importantly, ask your child about recycling practices at school or about gardens popping up around the schoolyard.
