TEECS’s EnergySmart Teams making a difference

Thomas Edison EnergySmart Charter School is focused on its mission of sustainability. With the creation of two environmentally focused teams, Green Team and Environmental Alliance Club, our students are involved more than ever in making a difference in our community.

The Environmental Alliance Club consists of Middle and High School students who are creating initiatives for the school. Their latest program is Meatless Mondays. Through coordination with our meal service company, we were able to start this program and educate the community on the benefits of eating less meat.

The Green Team consists of Elementary students who are also looking to make a difference in our community. This team takes the lead in caring for our school garden and living wall. They hold various fundraisers throughout the year to help support the garden maintenance.
