Green Team: Officially organized in 2012, the Haisley Green Team is a teacher-parent collaboration with an aim of fostering environmental awareness and promoting environmentally sustainable practices within the Haisley Community.

Haisley Garden: Located between the parking lot and the playground, the Haisley Garden is full of vegetables and flowers due to the hard work of our Green Team. Students are encouraged to stop by the garden during recess hours in the warm months to help with and learn about gardening.
