Congratulations our Community Grant Winner, Parkmead Elementary!

Grant Impact at Parkmead Elementary

Parkmead Elementary will use its $3,000 Community Grant to create a lasting recycling system that supports student learning and real waste reduction. Funds will provide color-coded recycling, compost, and landfill bins, along with clear signage showing what belongs in each bin.

Students will engage through hands-on activities like poster contests and sorting games, supported by classroom toolkits and school-wide kickoff events. Follow-up waste audits will measure success and help maintain the program over time.

This investment empowers Parkmead students to become sustainability leaders at school and at home.
