Composting...Please spread the word!
We are ready to start planning our composting project at Mount Washington and would love your help developing the system. Our goal is to compost the garden waste in both the upper and lower school gardens as well as the compostable scraps from the children's daily snack and lunches.
We are very fortunate to have a new parent, Cathy Larson, who has volunteered to spearhead this project. Cathy is looking for parents interested in this idea, and would like to help implement a school wide composting education program. If you have skills to share on this project please email Cathy at liteon@hotmail.com. This includes carpentry skills for the actual construction of the compost bins as well as the development of the system itself, experience composting, etc. RSVP to let her know if you can make it on Monday a.m. December 12th.
Agenda:
To discuss the development of the system, the building of the compost bins and the possible funding sources for necessary materials, including compost bins, pitchforks, worm bins, educational posters, recycling containers, wheelbarrows, etc.
Hope to see you at the meeting Monday,
Krista Ebert
