Sustainability & Beautification Committee

SBC MISSION STATEMENT/GOALS

The McKinley Elementary Sustainability and Beautification Committee (SBC) is guided by simple truth. The more habits, actions, and student behaviors are synced with life’s natural cycles and rhythms, the better our quality of life. We assist the school community to live in greater balance with natural cycles and increase school quality of life by:

  • Encouraging active green living
  • Enhancing the school campus's natural environment
  • Modeling efficient and sustainable resource use
  • Increasing understanding of the food cycle from the ground to the table, then back to the ground
  • Promoting healthy eating
  • Showing respect for one another and life
  • Managing the school garden
  • Nurturing understanding and appreciation for life’s natural cycles
  • Promoting respectful, harmonious interaction between community members
  • Reinforcing beliefs and habits students carry through life

The McKinley Elementary School Sustainability and Beautification Committee organizes student and family events, teaching, garden classes and educational programs to realize this purpose.

 

If you are interested in helping to develop a greener campus, please join our SBC committee of parents, volunteers, and school staff involved in promoting Sustainability, green student programs and events, managing the school garden, and beautifying the campus for our students. Please contact Elena Luneva lenalun328@gmail.com for more information.

Stay tuned for more green in the coming weeks!!
