In January 2009, Newfield Elementary School joined the Go Green Initiative, a nationwide organization that encourages and supports districts to manage their waste in an environmentally-friendly way. In keeping with the Go Green Initiative's 5 Goals, our school has implemented the following plan.
Year 1
- Recycle throughout the school
- Educate our students about environmentally friendly waste to reduce waste
- Reduce our paper consumption
Year 2
- Evaluate a specific program that affects our local environment
- Compost in our classrooms and cafeteria
