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.
The Green Team planning committee is looking for volunteers that have any expertise or interest in environmental sustainability, environmental science, conservation science, and anything else. Please contact the Green Team planning committee at greenteam@hiteonptc.org.

The Hiteon Green Team Went to the Science Fair Expo!
Less than 0.3% of the planet’s water is accessible freshwater. And that water isn’t equitably available to all.
So SAVE IT, DON’T WASTE IT!
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.
