Green Team
Protect the Earth. Make Friends. Be a Leader. Have Fun!
What are Green Teams? Durango School District 9-R supports Green Teams at each of its schools. A Green Team is an after-school club geared toward helping the environment. We will concentrate on getting educated, spreading the word, and then taking action. Green Teams are active and interactive. With an adult advisor’s supervision, students will do their own research and develop group projects around reducing waste, recycling, conserving energy, and creating green spaces. Projects will be practical and focus on improvements that can be made at the school. We will also work on a District-wide Earth Day project combining our efforts across schools.
What are the team’s meeting details? In the 2022-23 School Year, the Green Team will meet on Wednesdays, 3:45-4:45 p.m., by the front office. Remaining meeting dates in 2023 are: every Wednesday March 29, April 5, 12, 19, 26, May 3, 10, 17 ] + optional Earth Day parade and event at Buckley Park.
What do club members do? This is a student-led group, which means all Green Team members are expected to actively participate, engage in research and discussion, and be respectful of each other’s perspectives and ideas.
