Environmental Initiatives at Our School

Valley Creek school is involved in recycling efforts and ways to reduce our production of waste. All washrooms have a compost bin for used paper towels. In each main area of the school students have access to recycling, compost and waste bins. Each bin has a sign indicating which items should be placed in each bin. Valley Creek students are asked to use the appropriate bins when disposing of waste. In addition to these bins, our leadership students collect cardboard and recyclables from classrooms on a weekly basis. Throughout the year, classrooms will be going on community walks to pick up garbage in our school community.
