The Green Team Mission

The JSIS Green Team's mission is to integrate environmental sustainability into all activities at JSIS by practicing waste reduction, resource conservation, and other "green" activities.  We help and encourage JSIS students, teachers, and staff to become environmental stewards at school, at home, and in the larger community.

The Green Team is led by Ms. Nani, 5th Grade English teacher.  Other Green Team members are Señorita Maria and thirty-four 4th and 5th grade students.

"I'm convinced that sustainability is best taught to children, as they are still optimistic and enthusiastic about what each one of us can do to help the earth.  They really want to do the right thing.  Practicing sustainability is often a hands-on activity, which kids enjoy, plus they're happy to offer their own ideas for making every day processes work better.  And - most kids like geting their hands dirty.  (If they don't, they probably won't want to be on the Green Team!)"
