introductions

Here you will find information on how we are “greening” our school. Our goal is to be the shining “GREEN” star in the county in order to bring recognition to Eastvalley. Please consider helping; the more hands we have the faster we can put in place the programs that will help us achieve this goal.

Thanks,
Shari

 

Chirp Eats

Put up a bird feeder on a balcony or in a garden area.  Make sure it is somewhere out of the reach of hungry cats.  Local birds will soon identify your feeder as a reliable source of food, so don’t forget to keep feeding them through the winter.

Never leave the tap running when you wash dishes.

Only run your dishwasher when it is full.

If you can’t print double sided…

Put an empty box beside your computer’s printer and next to the trash can to collect old one-sided printouts for reuse.

Always use both sides of a piece of paper.
