Now that you have committed to bringing green initiatives to your school, invite staff (principal, teachers, custodians), parents and students to create a team. Recruit 3 to 4 captains to spearhead various responsibilities. Meet to review MI Green School points and divide responsibilities. To ensure that everyone gets hands-on participation, create subgroups such as Michigan Green School, Recycling and Earth Day Event. The entire team can meet once a month for an activity (see GT Activities for monthly suggestions) and then subgroups meet based on project requirements.
