Oregon Green Schools Needs Your Support!
The Oregon Green Schools program is free for schools however the Oregon Green Schools Association relies on grants, donations and sponsorships to put on trainings, host the annual summit and all of the other things that OGSA does for schools. Individuals & businesses can help OGSA by sponsoring their neighborhood schools. Find out how you can help by clicking here .

Thank you!
Featured School – Chapman Hill Elementary School
Chapman Hill is a busy place, a busy green school place. As a building we recycle all paper, cardboard, batteries, glass, milk cartons, cans, plastic bags, printer cartridges, and much more. Students use vermicomposting practices to reduce solid waste. We are fortunate to have two large composters and an organic garden that will handle the overload of food waste. Our building is actively involved in the Watt Watcher program where data is collected daily by students. Each week as part of our morning announcements Watt Watchers are recognized for their effort.
