Welcome to The Green Team!

Root Elementary Green Activities

Green Team Leaders: Marian Bolen and Catherine Von Hatten

Kindergarten - 3rd Grade

We are recycling paper, plastic--including bags and cardboard. We also pick up litter. We reduce our use of paper by using both sides when printing and writing.

4th Grade - 5th Grade

We reduce car emissions by walking to school when possible. Teachers reduce the amount of paper they use by using projected learning material. We make our environment more green by planting trees, shrubs, and grass on our school ground.

Root Cafeteria Program

Root has replaced their plastic forks and spoons with reusable metal flatware. The students have learned how to separate flatware from other trash when they return their lunch trays.
