The Parent Teacher Association at this elementary school led a year-long effort to bring waste and toxicity reduction practices to over 400 homes of the teachers and families of the school. Strategies to reduce waste and toxicity were incorporated in the classroom curriculum in all grades and in multiple class subjects through hands-on homework assignments. Teachers plan to continue using activities developed this year in future years. Information was presented at all-school activities, such as Back-To-School Night, Earth Fair, and others. The Lorax (a Dr. Suess book with an environmental theme) was chosen as this year’s all-school book. Materials were translated for limited English learners and families. Articles on waste and toxicity reduction regularly appeared in the school newsletter. Leaders at several other schools are interested in replicating what Highland Park accomplished.
