Our School Accountability Committee (SAC) has been diligently working on initiatives to promote sustainability and reduce our environmental impact. One significant step we've taken is to remove products containing harsh chemicals, such as Clorox and Lysol cleaners, from our classrooms. Your support in providing fragrance-free baby wipes for our teachers during this transition has been greatly appreciated. We are implementing changes to our school supply list for the upcoming year to advance our green initiatives further. You'll notice that the list now includes Bolder Clean disinfectant wipes. These wipes are plant-based, free of harsh chemicals, and hold EPA Safer Choices certification, ensuring they meet stringent environmental and safety standards. While Bolder Clean products are provided by our distributor, EduKit, we understand that some families prefer to purchase school supplies independently. If this is the case for you, we kindly ask for your continued support in selecting EPA Safer Choices-certified products or those endorsed by the Environmental Working Group (EWG).
For your convenience, Bolder Clean wipes are available for purchase on Amazon. Additionally, we've compiled a list of alternative products that meet our criteria for safety and sustainability. These include water wipes, Honest Company sanitizing wipes, Seventh Generation multi-purpose wipes, and Green Works cleaning wipes. Regardless of the brand you choose, please ensure that the product is free of harsh chemicals and fragrances.
Your ongoing support is instrumental in creating a healthy and eco-conscious learning environment for our children and staff. If you have any questions or need assistance selecting an appropriate product, please don't hesitate to contact the school.
Thank you for being so committed to our school community and our shared goal of sustainability.
