• Katie Peternell supported team with me – This was my goal with KSC!

• Heard student presentations –Shhhhhh -EVERYONE was actually selected!

• Developed process for paper collection –white/mixed bottles and cans…

• Green team Members prepared as a team a presentation for each classroom.

• Team members from each classroom are responsible for collection of recyclables. BENEFIT – lessens custodial workload

• Visited Dondero school to observe their recycling program in Cafeteria.

• Cafeteria now recycles just about everything – milk cartons (Process for draining cartons), plastics 1-7 (NOT Styrofoam containers), & compost

• Compost important to be as free as possible from contaminants/ in return we get finished compost for our gardens
