MSLF’s Focus on Waste Reduction
December 11, 2012

We are grateful for the myriad resources available to us here at MSLF. Related to that gratitude is a respect for these resources and the benefits they bring to students, faculty and staff. It is important to us to use to use them prudently and to eliminate waste where possible.

We kindly ask for your assistance in reducing food waste related to our lunch program. Each day we report to our caterer how many children will be eating. This number then determines how much food comes our way each day. Due to food-safety processes and regulations, we are not able to save leftovers. This means that uneaten food is thrown away and goes to waste.

So, we need your help in please reporting your child’s absence by 9am. Please call Lynn at the front desk or communicate with your child’s teacher as soon as you know he or she will not be at school. This will help us greatly, as we let our lunch service know how much food to provide on any given day. Thank you for your support!

Greenhouse progress! 🌱 Over the past couple of months, we've been excited to see our new greenhouse taking shape! From the foundation to the floor to the knee wall, you can now see our new greenhouse classroom coming to life on campus. We are so grateful for the generous support of our community that helped bring this vision to life, enhancing our gardening enrichment program with a year-round space where all students can learn about plant lifecycles and sustainability. Stay tuned as we continue to share more progress! . . . #MSLF #montessori #educationforlife #MSLF60 #mslfcommunity #newgreenhouse #raisethestakesgrowthefuture
