We had our first meeting this morning to discuss our goals for the year and our various projects. We are a highly motivated group and have many projects that we would like to accomplish this year, from gardening with the kids to recycling more to lessening the amount of papers in Thursday folders. Below is the link with our list of projects. Please take a look and sign up for something. We are really in need of more gardening volunteers to help out with the classes that garden during the school day. Your help can be as little as 45 minutes one day a week to as much as you'd like. We appreciate any help you can give!

Last year, our accomplishments included: 
  • Starting a vegetable garden for the students (6 large beds and 2 small ones)
  • Teaching organic gardening to students
  • Planting 6 fruit trees with all of the 5th graders.
  • 12 new trees were planted by the playscape on Merrilltown Dr. with irrigation
  • 2 grants for our projects
  • Organizing a wonderful Earth Day PTA Event
  • Completing several beautification projects, including the walker dismissal with benches and native plants
  • Working with Eagle Scouts to beautify the courtyard
  • Started a monthly afterschool Green Club with students
  • Putting up "No Idling" signs for car drivers who drop-off/pick-up their children. Read more about the No Idling campaign here. 

We are very proud of our accomplishments and feel that we are making a visible difference for our students and parents at Wells Branch Elementary.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about volunteering or being a part of the Green Team.

Thanks so much,
