In an effort to create an even more sustainable campus, Packer is now officially converting its food waste into compost through the New York City Department of Sanitation's Organics Collection Program. Spearheaded by Tene Howard ’97, Director of Global Learning and Community Engagement, the program made its debut in September with vivid signage designed by Lucy Anderson ’08. In addition, students received training on sorting waste, organics, and recycling, including a workshop on composting, seed planting, and rooftop gardening designed for our Preschool students.
