Greening Altamont Creek
2008
Thank you to everyone in our Altamont Creek community for helping us "green" our school for our children, our community, and our planet. We have succeeded in teaming students with our parent volunteers, our community donors, and our dedicated staff. We have succeeded in establishing the following: a lunch recycling program, an outdoor garden classroom, a garden composting and vermicomposting system, 4 R's curriculum aligned with grade-level standards, and the modeling of the 4 R's throughout the campus. We have reduced our waste substantially and we are having fun increasing our sustainable practices! Our blossoming garden has plenty of veggies to taste and it has introduced us to "eating green" and "growing green"!

Thank you especially to the City of Livermore's Public Works for supporting our visions and action plans through Go Green, EEK!, and the Altamont Landfill Education Committee.
