Earth Day 2025

This year, our Green Team planned to showcase our cow-themed bike float in the parade, but it broke down. We walked instead had a great time! We also sold delicious chili at the tailgate, connecting with the community and enjoying homecoming festivities.

We celebrated the completion of our garden project with a wonderful potluck at the IMPACT center. We built hydroponic systems using recycled bottles, created garden boxes for classrooms, and established mushroom gardens for winter growth. This initiative showcased our gardening goals and nurtured a passion for sustainability. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed! The photo features students recognized for their dedication to the green team.

Green Team has made a significant impact by advocating for the climate literacy bill. As a result, graduating members of the Green Team at DHS now have the to earn a special certificate. This achievement not only highlights their commitment to environmental education but also empowers them to continue making a difference in the world. We're proud of our Green Team members and their dedication to fostering a sustainable future.

On February 7th, the Green Team hosted the Lights Off Campaign, focused on limiting vampire power by encouraging everyone to turn off as many lights as possible in our school. This initiative aimed to raise awareness about energy conservation and promote sustainable practices within our community. 

On February 13th, we enjoyed a fantastic event with little, making mind maps and discussing the wonders of snow. It was a delightful experience watching them express their creativity. We look forward to more fun and activities like this in the future!

We were in the Durango Earth Day Parade on April 12th, where our float showcased a striking green team coffin, symbolizing vampire energy. This creative representation aims to raise awareness about sustainability and the importance of protecting our planet.
