Welcome!
In an effort to seed a greener future for our students and families, several of our parents have created the Green Seed of the Week. Every week we will share a simple sustainability tip for folks to consider and implement as a collective practice to ensure a safer and healthier future for our children, our families and our planet.
This site will also act as an archive for all our forthcoming environmental tips, so bookmark this page and check back every week. If you have any questions, ideas or would like to contribute to our green discussions, please contact Rachana at rachanas@q300pta.org.
