GREEN TEAM NEWS

The Telesis Green Team is proud to announce that they have now recycled twenty of the 55 gallon capacity bags containing plastic bottles. Recently, we also began to recycle discarded paper and newspapers used in the classrooms. We have filled a normal commercial dumpster with our efforts that began after Winter Break. We have also done fairly well with the recycling of aluminum cans.

We would like to thank the students and staff at Telesis for their support in the club's recycling effort. We encourage all to recycle what they are able to. Thanks as well for keeping our campus cleaner.

TELESIS GREEN TEAM RECEIVES GRANT

The Telesis Green Team has received a $200.00 grant from the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality. Only 18 grants were given to Arizona High Schools to promote recycling and support club activities. The Green Team will report to the AQED on their recycling efforts at the end of the school year. Hopefully, the money will help students make recycling a part of their daily life at school. This is the first year the AQED had awarded the grants. Join our effort to recycle.
