Happy Halloween from the Campus Environmental Club. Here is a Jack-o-lantern made from a pumpkin grown in the Campus Garden. A pumpkin sale/fundraiser might be in the works for next year once we streamline the growing process. Maybe even a haunted walk at the school pond?

Today is the start of another Campus Colts basketball season. The CHS Environmental Club will have the blue recycling bins out in both gyms at the basketball games again this year. We take plastic bottles, cans, and paper programs. Go Colts! #ColtStrong

New logo! What do we think?

A good haul of bottles/cans from the first three home basketball games! Thank you to all who have been utilizing the recycle bins at the games! Please continue to use these bins that are conveniently located right next to the regular trashcans so we can recycle more plastics.

The biggest haul of the season for recyclables, plus a big win over our rival Derby! What a great night! #ColtStrong

Happy Kansas Day! We celebrated the day with an activity at Freeman ES. We had eight stations to highlight our state symbols and native wildlife. Mr. Balsters' pet Tiger Salamander, Ornate Box Turtle, Speckled Kingsnake, and Texas Brown Tarantula were our animal ambassadors.

The Campus High School Environmental Club is hosting a clean-up day at Campus HS a week from today, starting at noon. We will pick up trash and clear invasive species from the school grounds and the environmental lab (pond). Come help us out if you can.

Here is a reminder that the Campus High School Environmental Club will be hosting a clean-up day at CHS and the CHS Environmental Lab tomorrow from noon until 3:00. Please come out and help if you can, even if it's only for 30 minutes. Snacks and water will be provided.

The 2024 Earth Day Clean-up was a success! A few of the students who helped left before the picture, but we had 12 total people show up. We were able to collect 14 bags of trash! Please help keep our school grounds and environmental lab clean in the future. #ColtStrong

The Colt Strong Nature Trail is "trotting" along. Thank you to the USD 261 maintenance workers who helped install the 25 posts this morning. I received the demo print for the trailhead sign from Nu Line Signs as well. We hope to have all signs installed this summer. #ColtStrong

We plan to open the Colt Strong Nature Trail on Saturday, June 22nd at 9:30 AM if everything goes according to plan. Meet at the north end of the east parking lot at Campus HS. A trail map with the locations and topics of each sign is attached below. #ColtStrong

Final preparations for the Colt Strong Nature Trail. Thank you to the USD 261 mowing team for helping today. The trail will open on Saturday at 8:30 AM. The Coreopsis flowers are in their full yellow force, and the Green Antelopehorn milkweed are starting to produce their seeds.

The activities fair is today during lunch. We are excited for another year of Environmental Club!

We had our first club meeting of the year yesterday and our first recycling day of the year today. We have over 70 students signed up for Environmental Club this year! We are looking forward to a great school year full of activities! #ColtStrong

The Environmental Club will be hosting our Fall Clean-up Day on Saturday, November 9th at 10 AM. We will be picking up trash and cleaning up the CHS school grounds, Environmental Lab, and adjacent portions of South Lakes Park. Trash bags, water, and snacks will be provided.

The 2024 Fall Clean-up Day was a success! Ten Campus students picked up 12 bags of trash around the school grounds, Environmental Lab, and South Lakes Park in the muddy and windy conditions. Thank you for taking time out of your weekend to clean up Campus! #ColtStrong
