Safe Routes at Dixie School District

Miller Creek Save a Gallon Contest 2011

Go Green Spring Contest

Dixie ran the Go Green contest from April 16 through May 11. The participation was great. Several teachers really got into the spirit and met with their classes early to walk to school on several days, or weekly, on Fridays. Each weekly class winner was awarded $50, and the overall winner received $100. The money is to be used for green education, green teaching materials, or even a party if the teacher/class chose. The $300 came from our Green Team coffers -- money earned from our CRV recycling program.

The school received $500 for the highest number of signups for SchoolPool (118 total) and 2nd highest percentage of signups for SchoolPool/Green Ways to School at 29% of school. According to the surveys, those who signed up for SchoolPool increased their green trips by 31%.

The Dixie 5th grade teachers are walking to school every Friday even in the rain to encourage green ways to school.
