by the Greeley Building and Planning Team
The Greeley Building and Planning Team (BPT), a group consisting of students, parents, faculty and administrators who discuss and carry out projects, hope to make the Greeley community a better place.
For the past two years, we have been collaborating with STOP (Students and Teachers for Our Planet) and Silent Earth to make the school more sustainable. Our latest projects have been researching solar energy and working with the district during an Energy Audit.
In the near future, Greeley is putting in solar panels and a wind turbine to power a few classrooms. It may not seem like much, but every little bit is progress.
We must all contribute: by recycling, closing windows and doors, turning off faucets . . . We can ALL make a difference!
Read up on what STOP and Silent Earth are doing and contribute to their fundraising efforts. Join us on the BPT, or tell your friends and siblings to join next year!
This newsletter is meant to spread information and ideas about what YOU can do to help. We hope you take some of these ideas to heart.
