The theme for this year's Green Team is to Maintain and Grow.  We were so excited to be awarded the Michigan Green School certificate with an Emerald distinction last year!  This year, we plan to maintain the many projects put into motion and grow some new ones as well.  Click here to see the most recent update the Green Team made to the PTO.

If you or your child would like to be involved with these fun and meaningful projects, please contact me (middaughkeri@gmail.com) or Mrs. Morad (19.gmorad@nhaschools.com).

Don't be shy!  Visit the Green Team's interactive bulletin board.  It is in the hall near the gym, opposite the hero displays.  

This week asks you to jot down your ideas about "What does RENEWABLE mean?"

No judgment.  Only awareness.   Stay tuned for more!

South Arbor's middle school, intermediate, and a handful of primary students welcomed some extraordinary guests last week.  Animal Magic is a collection of exotic animals that travels all over the country and increases wonder and exposure to the natural world.  We oo'ed and ahh'ed at the amazing creatures we saw!  We learned unbelievable facts and, at times, got a taste of our own fear.  Click here for pictures and amazing details!

Cell Phone Recycle Event, Jan 17 & 18, during traffic!

1/7/2013

Did you upgrade your cell phone this holiday season?  Are you looking to unload your old one?  The Green Team has a solution for you.  We are holding a Cell Phone Recycle Event onThursday, January 17 and Friday January 18 during morning and afternoon traffic. You don't even have to leave your vehicle to recycle your cell phone.  Adults and students from the Green Team will be circulating the lanes of cars during drop-off and pick-up times.  Just look for volunteers holding the wicker baskets. 


One of South Arbor's parents works for ReCellular, and is partnering with The Green Team to donate all of our old tele-com gear to Cell Phones For Soldiers, a reputable charity that trades them for calling cards for our overseas soldiers to call home.  And, not to worry, all sensitive data will be removed.

Sounds like a Win-Win-Win situation to me!

So, mark your calendars and bring in your old cell phone gear.

January 17 and 18!
