Solid Waste Reduction
- Middle School students designed and maintain our paper and plastic collection recycling program.
- Every classroom of the school maintains paper recycling bins.
- Activities are conducted with recycled, repurposed materials. Our students used all recycled materials to construct their catapults and trebuchets for their Punkin’ Chunkin’ science competition, which was watched by all classes. After the competition, they recycled all materials.
- Another example of repurposed recyclables is the STEAM project of creating Chihuly-like sculpture. Students collect plastic bottles and will pursue science and make art with them.
- A 7th-grade student founded St. Martin’s Environmental Club and wrote its Mission Statement.
- Recycled cardboard is being upcycled and used as background stage setting for our school play.
