This year was a blast! We almost got to our goal of 200 pledges and we encouraged others to do their part. Next year would like to promote more, do more projects, create a compost team and connect with other classes. Next year we will be even better next year.

Upcycled Handmade Card
05/02/23 Shadow Lake Elementary
Today the Green Team began working on a homemade paper project. First we gathered shredded paper. Then we made a pulp by soaking and mushing up the shreds. Finally, we thinly spread the pulp on a thin screen. Now we are waiting for a final product! Fingers crossed we will have a lovely handmade card.

A Busy Team
12/13/22 Shadow Lake Elementary
We were really successful and got eight more members to join our Green Team! It looks like we did a great job. Since our team grew, we brainstormed about five videos in less than two months. Now our entire campus will learn how to be green. One of our videos even teaches students how to take the pledge. We hope to increase our Power Points.
Slowly, but Surely...
