Yesterday, our Launch Day of our Cafeteria Ranger Program at The Children’s School was truly amazing!
We had only one bag of garbage, weighing only 5 pounds on our first day of our student leadership cafeteria program!
Congratulations and a huge thank you to the entire school community!

Before student leadership in the cafeteria, there was lots of contamination*
*Recycling and compost that went to the landfill because it was placed in the wrong bin.
