The CTSD Green Team is a district-wide group of educators, students, and staff dedicated to promoting sustainability and environmental responsibility in our schools and community. Led by Round Valley School teacher Caroline Mann, the Green Team works across all four schools to support hands-on initiatives that encourage environmentally responsible habits and learning.

Through school-based Green Teams, students and staff participate in activities that reduce waste, promote healthy learning environments, and build awareness of sustainable practices. The Green Team’s work has continued to grow and has been recognized through certifications, publications, and opportunities to share our efforts at professional workshops.

Our mission is to inspire students and the greater community to care for the environment while making sustainability a meaningful part of everyday school life. We are grateful for the ongoing support of our families and community partners.
