Woodward “Green Team” asks for your vote to win outdoor garden

Woodward School’s the Green Team, is vying to win an outdoor garden and a picnic table made of recyclable materials. They are asking for you “votes” to help.

The Green Team was formed in 2016 as an after school club for the school’s 2nd & 3rd grade students. The group was granted some seed money to get started by the Southborough Community Fund. The founders’ pitch explained the primary benefits:

improving the health literacy of our children regarding the environmental impact of our waste and the benefits of reducing, reusing, recycling, composting and growing, yields to the secondary gain of expanding this knowledge to the parents, teachers and community as a whole. Hopefully we will see the amount of trash decrease with increased recycling and smarter consumption.

The group was successful in capturing student interest. Now, they are seeking to win the outdoor garden for the team’s use. Last I heard, the team was in 8th place. They’re hoping MySouthborough readers can help them move up.

The Terracyle contest asks people to vote daily for the school they’d like to see win the prize. Click here for the site. Below are contest details:
