LVR Green Team and Recycling Program

The LVR Recycling Program has been in full swing since Spring of 2022 thanks to the help of the LVR Green Team - a group of students, chaired by grade 12 student Sierra Burjaw, who are passionate about recycling and helping to facilitate this at our school. 

Beginning during the 22/23 school year, administration met with SD8 maintenance about how we can most effectively work together to provide paper recycling at LVR. 

The LVR Green team was then developed, where students collect and bag all paper recycling from the recycling bins in classrooms.
