The Cardiff School District is committed to being green!

Our district has implemented many green ideas and we are always looking for more ways to “go green.” Being green not only helps the environment, it provides great learning opportunities for students. Green initiatives also can help the school district save money.

If you have ideas for green projects at Cardiff Schools, email Darcy Cook, parent volunteer and Cardiff SEA liaison to the Rob Machado Foundation.

• We’ve reduced our use of plastic water bottles.
• We’ve learned about how to take care of the beautiful ocean in our back yard.
• We've developed hands-on curriculum to learn about oil spills, smog, landfills, and vermicomposting.
