ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø

The Green Team was formed in 2008 by a group of dedicated staff and students with the common goal of minimizing the school’s environmental impact and encouraging sustainable practices both on and off-campus. 

The Green Team includes ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø staff and students from across the campus, and welcomes participation from the entire ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø community. The team meets throughout the year to discuss various topics pertaining to environmental and personal wellness, host guest speakers, and organize events such as Freecycles, JFK Park clean-ups, and activity challenges. The team is always open to new discussion topics, activities, and members.
