Northwood ABC Elementary

The Wolves

  • Northwood Northwood ABC Elementary became an ASD Green School in October 2018. Prior to the date, Northwood ABC Elementary did not have a student lead recycling program. WIth the ASD Green Schools initiative, the Northwood Wolves green team now collects, sorts, and discards the recycling in the recycling dumpster. The students provide constructive feedback to classrooms with contaminated recycling, generating recycling education throughout the school. In addition to recycling collection, the green team wants to raise more awareness towards waste reduction and recycling by starting a bulletin board with tips and recycling information. Great Job, Wolves!!

About Green Team

  • Green Team Name:  The Wolves
    Team Members: 6th Grade
    Sponsor: Michelle Greer

     

  • The Wolves are comprised of Mrs. Greer's 6th grade class. The group collects, sorts and disposes of the schools recycling on Thursdays. On Mondays, the students award a green star to a randomly selected contamination free classroom. The award is announced through the intercom. In addition, recycling tips are also given in the announcement. 

Sustainability Plan and Goals

  • The goals of the Northwood Wolves are to educate the staff and students about the items ASD considers recyclable at the classroom level. We also want to educate the school about the impact of using non-biodegradable items and their lifecycle.  We plan on doing so by:

    • Provide more recycling alternatives
    • Adding other recyclable items such as plastic water bottles, glass bottles, and aluminum cans to our list of responsibilities.
    • Create a recycling bulletin board
    • Generate recycling incentives
    • Host a recycled art contest
