STUDENT DRIVEN SUSTAINABILITY PRACTICES

Maintaining Rain Garden
MWS students are committed to recycling. Students and staff recycle all paper and all forms of containers. There are paper recycling bins in every classroom and throughout the upper and lower buildings. Energy Captains and Green Leaders have created processes of recycling collectioin to weigh and audit. Every week during the morning announcements winning classrooms are celebrated, students are assigned to take the recycle bins outside for pick-up.

School Grounds Cleanup
The MWS Outdoor Classroom and blacktop area includes an amphitheatre, blacktop for instruction through play, an aqueduct, four vegetable planting beds, and many native plantings. The Outdoor Classroom not only is a target for substantial run-off but also our students have learned about water conservation, first hand, in our very own Outdoor Classroom. The Outdoor Classroom is used by all grade level teachers. The Outdoor Classroom is used for our annual Earth Day Celebration, Fall Festival, -Walk-A-Thon, Sunfest and other community related events.

Aqua Projects
Green Leaders and Energy Captains create projects for water based solutions to problem of pollution. They learn background information on their project from water cycle, to pollution, to the life that it effects. They preform their projects at the Aquarium to get a chance to share with our city community and get tips from the pros that work there. Their projects can be refined to enter presentations at Earth Day Celebrations, GreenScape, and the MAEOE Youth Summit.
