Green Teamers Teach Elementary Students about Composting



On Friday, February 10, several Green Team students spent the afternoon teaching about composting to the students at Country View Elementary School in Winfield. The principal of Country View invited the Green Team to come and present as part of a rotation of hands on activities for the students in grade Kindergarden through 4th grade.

Green Team students Sydnee Nelson and Tendai Kwaramba developed a presentation focused on composting. They taught about the importance of recycling and that organic materials can be turned into compost which is good for gardens. Nelson and Kwaramba borrowed some compost from Alex Gottlob, local landscaping businessman and allowed the students to dig around in it and see what materials they could find.

The same 20 minute presentation was made to seven different groups of students throughout the afternoon. Green Team students Shea Wilson and Daniel Van Sickle also participated.
