Kelly Creek Video A Finalist!

The Oregon Education Association sponsors a video contest each year, in which an individual educator is spotlighted by someone who has been affected by that educator. Reevkah Christiansen chose Christa Garman, the custodian at Kelly Creek Elementary, (and a dedicated Green Schooler!) as her subject for the 3 minute video, and it is now a finalist.  The public can view the videos at the OEA website and then vote for their favorite.

Check out this cool recycling DVD! Titled "Saving Little Pieces of Our Earth -- Your Curbside Recycling Journey," this new 13-minute DVD explains what happens to recyclables once they leave the curb and how they are processed into new items. Several Oregon Green Schools Regional Coordinators were responsible for its creation! Take a look: To obtain your own copy, contact: Oregon DEQ, Solid Waste Section,

Kelly Creek Elementary, the longest running certified Premier Oregon Green School in the state (first certified Premier in 1997), was recently featured on ABC's "Extreme Makeover -- Home Edition."
The school was awarded a $250,000 grant from the Ford Foundations to undergo an extended green makeover which included resurfacing the playground with tiles made from recycled tires. Take a look at http://www.fordvehicles.com/

The video is titled “Ford Takes Green To School.”
