GREEN TEAM
The goal of the Green Team is to empower and educate our students and teachers at Rowayton Elementary school to help the environment. We set an example through waste reduction, recycling, energy conservation and pollution prevention.
Working closely with our facilities team, Rich and Pablo as well as the City of Norwalk Waste Management Team, we have ensured that every classroom and office at the school is provided with a recycling receptacle. Rowayton Elementary follows city wide single stream recycling.
We were just awarded a RecycleCT Grant that will help us bring a Recycling and Waste Center into our new cafeteria! More details to follow about this exciting project!
We have worked with a local artisan, Mister and His Sister and created Rowayton Elementary re-useable Happy Snacker bags that are for sale in our PTA Spirit store:
We have completed 2 prototype Green Team Party Boxes that you can “check-out” of the PTA closet and use at any school party. The boxes contain recyclable cups, water pitchers, plates and silverware. To reserve a Green Team Party Bin for your next classroom party, CLICK HERE!
We have successfully cut down on the use of water bottles at the Walk-A-Thon and school carnival for the last 5 years and have made sure that all the waste generated has been properly recycled.
