On-going sustainability initiatives 

Sustainability Initiatives at Charter Oak 

Charter Oak has many on-going sustainability initiatives and achievements. We have been recognized as a CT Green Leaf School and a LEED Gold School. We also have a parent, teacher and student organization, "Deep Roots," that has helped to sponsor sustainability efforts such as Waste Free Wednesday, recycling, composting, grant-funded silverware and trays and more! We are also lucky enough to have two school teaching gardens and a greenhouse.
