The Green Schools Program is designed to involve students, teachers, and staff alike. Each individual can be involved with making a difference in their communities with programs to save energy, recycle, reduce waste, and conserve water. Through the reduced consumption of resources and energy, schools will use less money to operate properly. This ultimately allows school districts to invest more in our children. Increased efficiency of operations and use of resources produces favorable learning and teaching environments. We can transform teaching tools and schools themselves into learning centers for increased economic, educational and environmental performance.
Greening your school improves the operation of the building, making them cleaner, healthier, and more productive for both students and faculty members. It allows the community to become educated and involved with our students as we learn the importance of caring for the environment now and for future generations. The Go Green initiative wants to provide hands-on assistance, resources, recognition, and events to those schools who become involved in the Green Schools Program.
As I mention before right now Tuition should be $4,700 per student to cover our cost. So who covers the extra cost that isn't cover in tuition? The Church does. The school is subsidized by the Church, so we can can put your child's education and spiritual welfare first. The school must start covering more of our own costs. One way to save money is putting our school into the 21st Century and utilize the tools God gave us to be more efficient and excellent. One way to do that is going green. We will be applying later this year for the Green School Program. Other Lansing schools already involved in the program :
