School News and Events

Environmental Impact Analysis

At St. Mary's, we have started a school wide initiative to reduce and sort recyclable trash during lunch. Although we are still in the beginning steps, we will be learning about how our choices impact the environment and steps we can take to become better stewards of God's creation. During the month of September the lunch garbage weighed 1,205 pounds! The lunchroom is an area where we can see the most change. Please consider using reusable containers when packing your lunch.
