Students in Grades 6-8 may participate in the St. Joseph Catholic School Green Team. Students earn service hours all year long by re-supplying the school campus with empty recycling and compost bins as needed, educating the students about the right ways to dispose of waste, and going on occasional "trash pick ups" around campus. The Green Team regularly informs our school community about upcoming eco-oriented projects and events in Pinole and our greater community as well as our school at morning assemblies, and also represents St. Joseph at various community functions, such as biannual Pinole Creek clean-ups and the City of Pinole's Earth Walk.
