The Hiteon Elementary Green Team is a group of 4th and 5th grade students passionate about environmental sustainability and their community. The students co-create the yearly curriculum, covering issues including renewable energy, ocean plastic, urban and invasive ecologies, climate and environmental justice, conservation science, and anything else that they’re interested in! Any 4th or 5th grade student that wishes to join can fill in the application form (provided in class) at the beginning of the school year. Interested parent volunteers can contact the green team at greenteam@hiteonptc.org.
Our first meeting is on October 20, 2023 at 2:45pm.
Turn Your Key... Be Idle Free!
The Hiteon Green Team is running an Anti-Idling Campaign for Earth Week!
April 17 through 21
HGT students will be sending home a newsletter, speaking with classrooms on the consequences of idling cars, campaigning at the pick-up line, and posting signage around the school, inside and out.
Please support our Hiteon students in their advocacy and leadership when you see them at pick up.
Healthy air, healthy kids, healthy planet... Let's take care of Hiteon's Air!

The Green Team meets on Kalapuya ilihi, the traditional indigenous homeland of the Kalapuyan people who have cared for these lands since time immemorial. In our work around community and sustainability, we view these traditional stewards of the Tualatin Valley as models for us in honoring the land, water and creatures of our home, and pledge to respect their enduring relationship, historical and ongoing, with their traditional territories.
