After reviewing our Green School application the Macomb County Board of Commissioners designated St. Mary School a MI Green School with evergreen status for the 2011-2012 school year.  Congratulations and thanks go to the staff, students and parent volunteers that helped us accomplish the necessary Green School points to achieve evergreen status.

_The Green Team met today and worked on projects to save energy at our school.  Students constructed yarn computer humbugs to remind teachers and staff to save energy by turning off the power strip at the end of the day and colored signs to remind everyone to turn off the lights when not in use.

_Turn your WORN OUT KICKS into NEW PLACES TO PLAY!
We are teaming up with Nike Reuse-A-Shoe for a shoe drive and need your help.  St. Mary NJHS and the Green Team will collect worn out sneakers on April 16-21 so Nike can recycle them into new places to play like playgrounds, running tracks, football fields, basketball courts and more.  Any brand is okay, but only athletic shoes without metal or cleats and no damp or muddy shoes, sandals or flip-flops will be accepted.
