We are delighted to shine a spotlight on the Oak Street Elementary Lunch Time Sorting Team, the deserving winners of our inaugural SparQ Eco Grant this past Spring. This remarkable team represented the Inglewood School District as one of eleven contenders vying for the grant. Their exceptional efforts in sorting lunch items for recycling, reuse, and waste management left an indelible impression on us.
A Commitment to Sustainability
The Oak Street Elementary team has been diligently working to make their school greener. By sorting lunch items into appropriate categories—recyclables, reusables, and waste—they have reduced the school’s carbon footprint and educated their peers on the importance of environmental stewardship. Their project models what young minds can achieve when committed to making a difference.
Sharing Their Work
Recently, the team had the honor of presenting their accomplishments at Verte, the annual gala event for Grades of Green. This event is a platform for young environmentalists to showcase their initiatives and share their passion for a greener future. The Oak Street Elementary team’s presentation was met with enthusiastic applause, further validating the impact of their work.
Partnership with Grades of Green
We are proud to partner with Grades of Green, an organization deeply committed to environmental education and action. In particular, we support their incredible dedication to environmental stewardship programs within the Inglewood School District. The Oak Street Elementary team’s success is a testament to the power of community partnerships and the incredible potential that lies in our youth.
Looking Ahead
The achievements of the Oak Street Elementary Lunch Time Sorting Team are just the beginning. We are excited to see how they will continue to grow and inspire others in their community and beyond. Their work serves as a shining example for future SparQ Eco Grant applicants and those committed to improving our world.
Congratulations to the Oak Street Elementary Lunch Time Sorting Team for their outstanding work and for being trailblazers in environmental stewardship!
