With the support of Principal Bultema and our head custodian Leo, and Newton's fantastic Sustainable Materials Management Director (Waneta Trabert) and Waste Diversion Coordinator (Erica Braman), we will be able to have Mason-Rice lunchroom food waste composted!
To help train Mason-Rice students on composting in the lunchroom, the Green Team Kids received an exciting assignment: to create a compost training video to be shown in classrooms during the composting roll-out in late February. Eleven Green Team students came together for two long evenings in February with our superstar videographer and Mason-Rice parent Neal McConnell to film the video. (Thank you, Neal!!!)
The final video is complete and will be shared on this blog at a later date!

2/28 UPDATE:
During the last week of February, the Mason-Rice Green Team Kids composting video was shown in all K-5 classrooms to complement the lunchtime composting training they received from the City of Newton's DPW sustainability team. Here is the final video!
Many thanks to our fantastic Mason-Rice parent and videographer Neal McConnell, the support of Newton's DPW Sustainability team Waneta Trabert and Erica Braman, and our amazing Mason-Rice Green Team Kids.
