Sustainability - Focus on Food Waste!
During the month of November, the Wilder Green Team continued to talk about sustainability with a focus on food waste. With so many different celebrations and holidays across all of our cultures and families, we learned more about food waste and ways that we can help with reducing it at the home and school level.
Here's a quick video to help learn more:
Plastic Film Recycling Event - November 12 - 14, 2024!
Our Green Team is working with Ridwell to help rid our landfills of plastic films! These films are not accepted into your curbside recycling, so please consider collecting your film and dropping it off at Wilder during our Recycling Event on November 12th - 14th.
Save up your plastics and drop them off at Wilder anytime during the day on November 12th - 14th!
Thank you for helping alleviate our landfills!
The Green Team has been busy...
UPCYCLING!
This month, the Green Team met and learned the difference between upcycling versus recycling. Students had lively conversation around ideas on items that they don't need any more and how they could upcycle them. Additionally, we discussed repairing items versus buying new ones. The students created an upcycled pumpkin with left over cardboard and orange paper.
RAIN BARREL!
Green Team members have focused our learning on water systems and sustainable conservation practices for school and home. We share information with the Wilder student body population two times a month during the school-wide assembly.
Additionally, Green Team members have created posters about this knowledge that are placed around the school. Recently, a water barrel was donated to our Green Team for collecting water to use on plants and flower beds around school in order to help shift towards more sustainable water practices.
ASSEMBLY - 2023
Thank you to our Wilder Green Team and our Green Team Leaders, Mrs. Jossi and Mrs. Jatekar for bringing an amazing assembly to our Wilder students. Students learned all about the importance of recycling through an entertaining skit put on by Curiosity Quest. Thank you for helping our students learn the importance of being green!
