Green & Healthy - Instill everlasting green and healthy values in our kids!

Environmental awareness, recycling efforts, good nutrition and exercise/fitness is what we’re all about. The foundation to developing lasting healthy, active and environmentally conscious values is set here at school, in our families and among peers. We want to help our kids make the best choices they can, and we want them to feel proud of it when they do.

We are an "umbrella" committee in which both teachers and parents work together to constantly improve the Green and Healthy efforts!  Join our committee and you can help make it happen! Spearhead the next big idea, sign-up for a weekly time slot as a Lunch and Recess volunteer, contribute your recycling expertise or become a Kids Club Volunteer to run a green and healthy related after-school program! Ad-hoc or more regular commitments are all welcome and appreciated! Please enjoy this video to learn more! Contact us at green-and-healthy@ps321.org.
