PS40 IS THE FIRST NYC PUBLIC SCHOOL TO COMPOST IN THE CAFETERIA!
Friday, December 2, 2011
Composting in the Cafeteria Starts on MONDAY!
This has been a big week.
We are preparing to start composting next week.
On Monday and Tuesday we had three assemblies, to teach the whole school about composting at lunch time.
On Wednesday, the parent members of the SGET went to the PTA meeting to tell all the parents about the new composting program.
On Thursday a flyer went out in backpacks to parents, especially for the ones who couldn't make it to the PTA meeting.
On Friday each student member of the SGET went into the classroom for which they are responsible, and taught the class how to sort their garbage at lunch time.
We also made posters and hung them up in the cafeteria and around the school.
In addition to parent members of the Super Green Eco Team, other parents have volunteered to help during lunch, all next week.
TO SUM UP:
There are three bins in the cafeteria:
Green - Compost
Blue - Recycling Grey - Trash
