Green Team Update

Last spring, several dedicated Terra Linda students took it upon themselves to fundraise and purchase durable silverware to replace the plastic silverware being used in the cafeteria. Lately, the cafeteria staff has noticed some of this silverware accidentally getting thrown out. A gentle reminder to students about not throwing away silverware at lunch time would be great.
