Systemic Partnership
Systemic Partnership with SERT
DuFief has partnered with Montgomery County Public School's School Energy and Recycling Team. SERT provides the school with valuable information about our energy and recycling habits and ways to continue to help DuFief run as efficiently as possible. In September of every year, we create a SERT action plan that we share with the SERT office identifying the members of our school team. In November 2018, facilitators from the SERT team came to our school during lunch to talk to the students about recycling and composting to coincide with our composting week with The Compost Crew. In February 2019, SERT facilitators came out to talk to our fifth grade SERT team to discuss ways to save energy and streamline our recycling efforts (additional information on our November composting talk and February SERT talk on our community partnerships page). They gave students lots of information that they in turn, shared with our staff and students. SERT facilitators also came to present information about conservation efforts at our March 4, 2019 staff meeting (additional information on our professional development page).
