Green Team New Food Donation Program
Olde Creek ES Green Team has initiated a program to limit food waste during lunch time. Our new food donation program will begin this Monday, March 21st. Green Team student members visited classrooms this week to talk to your students about how the program works so they are best prepared for the official launch next week. Students watched this video made by our Green Team to show them what is ok and not ok for this program. As part of this program, we will be bringing unwanted food to a local food bank. If you are interested in volunteering to bring food from Olde Creek to the food bank, please reach out to Sharon Smith at sasmith3@fcps.edu.
