Introducing Lakeside’s

What Is a Green Team?

In alignment with Lakeside’s firm belief in the motto “Earth
Day Everyday,” Lakeside is creating a committee of students
interested in becoming stewards of the environment. Green
Team members must be dedicated to taking action towards
the protection of our Earth and preservation of our natural
resources not only at school, but within their homes and
communities as well.
What Does a Green Team Do?
Green Team initiatives focus on actively promoting
awareness, educating others about ecologically friendly
choices, and improving actions that will have a direct impact
on our environment. Green Team members will attend
regular meetings during the lunch recess hour and will
volunteer their time for various service projects. Two
projects for this year include:
• a school-wide, uniform classroom recycling program for
paper and plastic
• a space waste management in the cafeteria with lunch
trays and food waste items
Who Can Join the Green Team?
We are looking for two students per classroom in grades 3 –
5. We are asking for student volunteers who are not
currently involved with Student Council.
