Trash is messy business, but that didn't stop  Wildcat Mountain Elementary students from digging in. The Green Team Leadership Group, led by Ms. Christensen and Mrs. Winter, sorted all the trash from one school day, including the lunchroom, into separate bins. The team is challenging Wildcat Mountain students and staff to reduce the amount of waste we create during a day. Throughout the sorting process, there were many moments by both adults and students, which started conversations about which changes could have the greatest impact.  Through a grant from 

Green Up Our Schools, the Green Team will have the funds to organize additional recycling opportunities, replace disposable items with those that can be reused, and continue educating our staff and students about little changes we can do each day that will have long term effects on our environment.
