Highlands Elementary School launched their "How Low Can We Go?" project which began at the parents' curriculum night to 96 parents. Over the course of the school year, 96 students in four classrooms worked to make their classroom a Zero Waste Classroom. The students implemented what they learned in the classrooms at home motivated by an "I pledge" video and parent/student nights. Activities throughout the year included; distributing reusable lunchbox kits, initiating a student-run paper towel composting and plastic bag program, decorating 200 reusable shopping bags and video pledges. Their Earth Day event with 400 in attendance was also featured on Fox 9 and Kare 11. The teachers will continue their low waste classroom practices and curriculum for future students.
