Student Green Team

As an active participant in the King County Green Schools Program, Einstein’s Green Team, known as the Green Otters, works to support students, teachers, staff, and parents in creating a healthy school and community environment. Our mission is to inspire meaningful change within our school and beyond by nurturing thoughtful learners, reducing our environmental footprint, and cultivating collaboration, student voice, and strong leadership to make a positive impact.

This program is available for students in 3rd, 4th and 5th grade who are interested in being a Green Community Leader.

Participants will:

• Attend monthly Green Team meetings. 
• Learn about and model “green behavior” at school and in the community.
• Help plan, organize and participate in Earth Week activities (April).
• Learn about food waste reduction, and from time to time, help during lunch
  time to sort food waste.
• Learn ways to save energy and conserve water.
• Help take care of the school garden.

Application process: Anyone in grades 3-5 must submit an application form (registration for 2025-2026 is now closed).

Applicants' families are contacted by email by the end of September or beginning of October.
