Northville Schools Go Green with Online Flyers

Elementary school students are typically sent home with folders full of flyers, which often have information that can be easily found online.

Northville Public Schools is starting a green initiative to reduce its carbon footprint. All flyers from nonprofit organizations like parks and recreation, local scouts and the library will be available for viewing online. 

The idea is to cut costs, reduce paper in students' backpacks and lessen the labor and expense of the district's staff. 

To request that a flyer be posted online, fill out an application form and email waltzka@northville.k12.mi.us. Contact Karen Waltz at 248-344-8442 for more information.
