Sagamore Hills is A Zero Waste School!!!

 
Sagamore Hills has partnered with Compost Now an Atlanta based company to create a zero waste community. Students,teachers, parents, and community stakeholders have all teamed up to make Sagamore a green place to live and learn. Students have taken a leadership role inpart with school staff to:
 
  • Divert waste from landfills.
  • Reduce waste and litter on campus
  • Improve waste-management practices among students’ families and the community
  • Students take on leadership roles in and around school
  • Students from Sagamore Hills have convinced the district’s superintendent to replace styrofoam trays in the cafeteria with reusable ones
  • The program (and school gardens) provides hands-on learning opportunities in STEM/STEAM subjects: science, technology, engineering, arts, and math.
