Eco Committee
Our Eco Committee
The Marymount Eco Committee is one of our main efforts to become a Sustainable School. With a student body of more than 1,000 students between Preschool, Elementary and High School, gathering our efforts might seem like a daunting task.
A small group of three students, three High School teachers, an Elementary School teacher and our Elementary School Principal, have started our Eco-Committee. A student from each grade will be chosen to be part of the Eco-Committee in the near future, to guarantee an inclusive process and that all students are represented.
