The Eastern Green Team is excited to announce the funding of Literally Green, our student created project which is being funded by a MAEOE Student Action Grant. Thank you MAEOE for your incredible support as we work towards Green School Certification!
History
Our Green Team was established and strengthened over the past 5 years by Ms. Kuhn and Ms. Brown. When Ms. Brown left Eastern, Ms. Kuhn took over the Math Team, and Ms. Peter recruited Ms. Maizlish to help her lead the Green Team. Ms. Peter has been the Green Team Leader at both of her previous schools, and helped Earle B. Wood Middle School achieve MD Green School Certification. So, the next step is to step up Eastern's Conservation efforts and Go for the Green School Certification! We will find out if we are certified on April 21st, 2023.
Ms. Peter and Ms. Maizlish wanted to join together to sponsor this club and work to improve the conservation efforts at Eastern. We have a great group of Green Minded Students who are committed and creative in their ideas and have made a difference in our energy conservation, recycling, and education of our community in a short time! Get involved, Go Green Eastern!
Ms. Peter enjoyed helping her previous school earn the Maryland Green School Certification, and looks forward to getting the same certification for Eastern! (Earle B. Wood MDGS Award pics below)
