Wilson School Green Team

Congratulations to the Wilson School Green Team on winning the 2012 Challenge Grant in the amount of $1,000.00 from the Bergen County Utilities Authority.  The award was given to help Wilson School go green in 2012, and we will be focusing on the three R's of a healthy environment:

Reuse            Recycle            Reduce

The incentive to reuse has already begun with the sale of reusable insulated lunch bags in an effort to reduce the waste of disposable lunch containers.  We plan to begin next year with a kick off assembly to help inform our Wilson School family about our program. We will be using recycling containers in our
cafeterias as well as our classrooms to help our students and our staff to recycle paper and plastics. Also, in an effort to reduce our lunchroom waste, we will be composting food scraps for use in our Wilson School Garden next spring.

Our main goal is the education of our students, families and staff about the simple ways we can help ease the burden of waste on our planet, and we are looking forward to sharing our experience
with our community.  Look for our helpful hints and information in our "GreenZine", and remember Wilson, GO GREEN!!!!
