Senior Garden
In recent years Spalding has been on a mission to have our faculty, staff, students and campus thinking “green”. In religion classes our students learn that they are stewards of God’s Earth and with this comes a great responsibility to our environment.
Listed below are some of the MANY ways we bring our green initiative to life:
-
In 2011 we introduced Single Stream Recycling on campus
-
To reduce our carbon footprint our goal is for Spalding to be a “No Idle Zone”, meaning that cars that aren’t moving should have their engines turned off at all times. *Please be considerate of this when coming to and from campus.
-
In 2012 we implemented Haiku – an online learning system that has significantly decreased our paper usage and waste
-
All students are encouraged to pledge to lead a “greener” life and add their name to our Green Tree
-
We host an annual E-Cycling event where members of the community are invited to drop off their used and unused electronics
-
All teachers support the initiative by educating students about the environment in at least one lesson plan throughout the year
