Thanks to grant funding from Sullivan 180, LMCS started a composting initiative this school year. There are 6 indoor composters and one large outdoor compost being used to reduce food waste in our school. So far this year we have been able to compost nearly 600 pounds of food using the indoor composters and another 1,000 pounds of cafeteria waste using the outdoor compost bin. Students weigh food waste before adding to the compost, which when finished is add to the outdoor compost and/or gardens #WellnessWednesday
