Our Green Teams got a final chance to make an education push during Earth week, and now it's time to start collecting data to see if their hard work has paid off. End of Year waste audits are being conducted and students are wrapping up their campaigns and setting next steps for August of next year. Check out some of our end of year highlights below!


While we are thinking of next year, we'd love to pause and make an annoncement:

Ball Corporation has awarded us a significant grant to help our Green Team students continue their work in 2019/20!

A huge thank you to Ball Corporation's philanthropic arm for continuing to support our students and the environmental impacts their schools achieve.


STEM Lab Elementary

Adams 12, Colorado

The beginning of year waste audit at STEM Lab was nothing spectacular, but certainly gave them a solid baseline to work with. Their diversion rate was 17%. The Green Team students worked hard to educate their peers and were anxious to conduct the end of the year waste audit. The students were well organized and had the Adams 12 Energy and Sustainably Manager (Shannon Oliver) with them to kick each classroom's sorting session off right.


Each class sorted through their landfill bound waste baskets, and one class even had a song to sing - Save the Earth! (Too bad we didn't catch that on video!). While sorting, the class with the most waste was one that had recently had a birthday party celebration. The garbage was full of plates, cutlery, and cups. We suspect zero waste party kits will be a future step at STEM Lab ;]


The exciting news - STEM Lab's diversion rate went from 17% to 45% in one year!


We love seeing sustainability ripple from our Green Team students to the rest of the student body, and one of our favorite moments was when a 4th grader corrected her classmate that diverting plastic in land locked states DOES matter for ocean life, because it can still be carried down stream to the oceans.


Great job to all the students, staff, and Green Team leaders who worked hard to achieve this diversion rate! You're rock stars!

Maintaining consistent standards throughout a building project requires careful planning, clear procedures, and regular inspections. Effective quality management in construction helps identify defects early and ensures that work meets the required specifications. Professional learning through The College of Contract Management can also support a stronger understanding of construction standards and project delivery.

What stood out to me about this kind of school-focused discussion is how much a learning environment can shape the way students think about practical problems beyond the classroom. Giving students opportunities to work with real projects, their surroundings, or community-based activities can make lessons feel more connected to everyday life, especially when they can see a clear result from what they have learned. That practical mindset is also useful later in careers where planning, communication, and problem-solving all have to work together. For example, students who enjoy combining technical knowledge with hands-on project work may eventually find themselves interested in roles where understanding a site engineer job description is useful for exploring what the profession actually involves.
