We Pledge

The Power Patrol complete their classroom visits to confirm pledges for Lapham and are happy to announce that we exceeded our goal with 99.9 of all students and adults in our building taking the pledge in grades EC-2nd.

Composting

06/03/14 Lapham Elementary

In addition to the Waste Free Wednesdays in April to coincide with Earth Day we began collecting all fruit and vegetable scraps to feed the pigs at Sugar River Farm(our school garden cannot handle that amount of food scraps!).

Garden Build Out

06/03/14 Lapham Elementary

Very much connected to our composting efforts at Lapham is our Outdoor School Classroom and Community Garden. We had a "build out" on June 1st with 50 community volunteers! Check out the PTG Green Team Facebook page for details on that and upcoming events in the garden.

Waste Patrol

06/03/14 Lapham Elementary

Our Power Patrol team of two students in 2nd grade who not only took the initiative to actively engage in leading our school as energy conservation monitors also challenged themselves and others to help keep our school playground clean. They use part of their recess time to clean up and other students have joined in their efforts.

All School Presentation

05/21/14 Lapham Elementary

Two second grade boys took the initiative to begin their own clean-up patrol on our playground and then become our new Power Patrol. They created a video to explain what they would do while on Power Patrol and it was shown at our all school community building assembly for May.
