Stevenson Elementary Students Make School Greener

Stevenson Elementary Students Make School Greener

 

Stevenson 6th grade students recently kicked off a composting campaign to make their blue and yellow school a litter greener through composting.  

 

They met with each grade level and shared information about composting and led them in a physical activity to practice how to compost.  

 

They recently started collecting compostable materials from leftover food waste in the cafeteria from 5th and 6th grade.  They diverted 23 pounds of compostable material and a local farmer will be using the material to grow more crops on his farm.  

 

All grade levels will have the opportunity to help us sort their food trash for composting before the school year ends and they hope to see composting become routine at Stevenson ES.
