The Green Team

Thank you to all the students and parents who

made our sustainability efforts a success this year!

Please enjoy this quick video to see how Green Teams

across Fairfield have made an amazing impact

on our environment and community.

Our Green Team looks forward to continuing

and growing next year.

Please feel free to reach out to Emma Kaye,

anytime with questions or support!

PLEASE RECYCLE OLD CLOTHING

(open year round)

Please consider RECYCLING

The Riverfield Green Team wants you to know about an opportunity

to recycle unwanted textiles while fundraising for the PTA!

There is a textile recycling bin located in the Riverfield parking lot

(left side) just as you exit.

Items that are still in good condition will be donated and reused.
Items not good enough to donate, may still be dropped in the bin for recycling (think: stained clothes, worn out shoes, ripped linens & towels, even stuffed animals!)
Click here to see the many ways these items are repurposed
Please just be sure that all items are bagged securely.

Riverfield PTA earns $100 per ton of textiles collected!

You can see a full list of what is and what is not accepted here

COMPOSTING

Riverfield's Green Team has been busy helping

our 3rd, 4th, 5th graders compost in the cafeteria since the beginning of school,

and now our 2nd graders have started as well!

If you would like to help in the lunchroom for 15-20 minutes

(and catch a peek at your kids in the meantime!),

please email Emma Kaye at emmajwebber@gmail.com.

Thank you for helping us be responsible

by taking care of the earth!
