Our team members are dedicated to making Iroquois a more environmentally sustainable space. Our team is open to students in Grades 4-6, however some primary classes will be invited to help us with specific projects this school year. Students meet at lunch time.
We have a special variety of committees such as Litterless Lunch, Energy, Morning Announcements/Website, Assembly, and the Waste committee. In the fall, we are focusing on waste reduction, and in the spring, we are focusing on energy usage. We are encouraging all students to bring a litterless lunch to school all year long!
Congratulations to our inaugural Eco Art Contest participants! We loved seeing your use of recyclable materials in a creative manner! Thank you for your efforts!
