What's a Green School?
Hayes Shared Vision--
We at Hayes Elementary support each other in order to put the needs of our students and their education first. We promote a passion for learning and stand as a source of pride for our students, staff, families, and community--all of whom are essential to our shared success.
Hayes Mission--
At Hayes Elementary School, our mission is to educate, challenge and inspire every student to achieve personal success and become a confident contributor to society.
What's a Green School? Being recognized as a Green School means that we begin with the future in mind, designing a learning experience for students that will prepare them to lead the world toward a healthy, cleaner, more sustainable future.

We have been a Green School since 2016, but each year we have to complete a series of activities to remain a Green School. Please email your ideas to clakatos@livoniapublicschools.org
Photos: (Top) The Green Team (formally known as the Green Club) celebrates the end of each school year with a field trip the 3 B's (Bird, Butterfly and Bee) Native Plant Garden at Corrrado Park. We enjoy a tour of the garden, strawberry picking, volleyball and a picnic lunch!
You may recognize this sea turtle sculpture from the art room. Green Club students made it out of the plastics that harm many types of sea animals. Plastic grocery bags floating in the ocean take on the appearance of a jelly fish which sea turtles mistake for food.
We invited Art for the Sky to design an living painting of a sea turtle made up of sand, mulch, tin cans, water bottles, blue jeans and Hayes students. The students who wore white, gray and brown became the paint drops of the sea turtle which was only visible from the sky!
