SPOTLIGHT SCHOOL OF THE MONTH - BUFFALO RIDGE ELEMENTARY
The Green Team members at Buffalo Ridge Elementary have been working hard over the years to become a green school. Look at all they have accomplished in the past few years:
- Saved water by replacing faucets with new motion sensor faucets with leak free technology
- Reduced energy use by 12% after participating in the ReNew our Schools program
- Started a water bottle recycling program
- Formed of a student Green Team
- Coming soon: BRE will replace the lighting in the gym with supplemental solar lighting and LED with their winning grant money from the PBL energy contest.
We are so proud of the BRE Green Team for doing such an incredible job moving forward with their project ideas and sharing them with The Office Of Sustainability during their Green Team meeting a few weeks ago. Keep up the great work!!
