SUSTAINABILITY - FOCUS ON FOOD WASTE!

The Wilder Green Team will talk about sustainability with a focus on food waste. With so many different celebrations and holidays across all of our cultures and families, students will learn more about food waste and ways that they can help with reducing it at the home and at school. 

Here's a quick video to help learn more:

PLASTIC FILM RECYCLING - 2024

Our Green Team works 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. 

Thank you for helping alleviate our landfills!

 

UPCYCLING! - 2023

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. 

Children in the foreground are crafting with orange paper at a table, while in the background, shelves filled with books and supplies line the wall.

 

A group of children and adults stand behind a blue barrel and three green watering cans, with a large blue barrel lying on its side in the foreground, all set against a backdrop of trees and a building.

 

RAIN BARREL! - 2023

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!
