Green Tips of the Week

Use Rechargeable Batteries.

 

Use both sides of a piece of paper.

 

Carpool to school.

 

Recycle plastic, paper, glass and metal cans.

 

Use 'dirty water' for plants.

 

Collect water from bath or shower that is waiting to warm up and use on plants.

 

Print on the blank side of already printed on paper. 

 

Take your car to a car wash rather than wash it yourself-they filter the water whereas runoff from your driveway goes right to the ocean.

 

For paper towel dispensers the rule is, "3 let it be" That means 3 pulls on the handle only!

ECO Club

Our Davis Magnet School Eco Club meets every Wednesday before school in Room 2.

Mrs. Gordon and selected students share Eco Club tips with our entire school community at Wednesday morning flag salutes.
  

Ecololgy Center

Thanks to the combined hard work of Mrs. Holman and all of the students in her grade 5/6 combination class, PTA parent Mrs. Manfredi, and lots of community support, our Ecology Center is now open in Room 2.

Our Ecology Center is equipped with six different learning centers.

Our Eco Club meets in the Ecology Center each Wednesday morning before school.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

Special thanks to PTA parent Mr. Carter for making our very cool Ecology Center sign!

Also, thanks to all of you who attended our first Ecology Night in the MPR. Our guest speaker, Evan Marks, from the Ecology Center in San Juan Capistrano, highlighted ten great ideas that all of us can do right now to help the world around us. 

Waste Free Wednesdays

On Wednesdays we are focusing on having a waste-free lunch.  Members of the Eco Club will help look for examples of reusing, reducing, and recycling.  Raffle tickets will be given out to kids caught "Being Green" and a raffle will happen at the end of every month with really cool prizes.  So let's do our part to be a "Green School".
