There are now Green Captains at all Newton Public Schools. At Bigelow, Crista Cavicchio (special education teacher) and Christopher LeGare (art teacher) are the educators who have stepped up. In addition, Alexander Lee (7th grade parent) and Nicole Peterson (6th grade parent) are looking to identify other parents who want to help Bigelow become more sustainable.
Here are just some of the tasks where our school community could use your help:
- Assisting with cafeteria organics removal
- Performing bike counts
- Helping with sustainability event
- Managing social media feeds
If you are interested, please fill out this form and someone will be in touch.
Alexander is working to identify Green Parent Lieutenants at schools across the district, so if you have a kid at elementary or high school, please inquire about how to get involved there, too.
