EXHIBIT 1
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
BACKGROUND/DESCRIPTION OF NEED
South Pointe Elementary School has many exciting school events that generate a lot of waste.
This year, the school would like to focus on removing plastic from these school events. This
includes, but will not be limited to cups, utensils, decorations, bags, and plates. We would like to
purchase compostable and eco-friendly cutlery and paper products, water coolers, paper
decorations, and other items that are typically cost prohibited in large quantities. Additionally, over
the past years, the graduation ceremonies have all consisted of large balloon arrangements that
we would also like to eliminate this year. Several reusable water coolers will also serve to host
large gatherings and eliminate all water bottles.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The grant will help to reduce single-use plastic waste at the school's events by covering the costs
to purchase water coolers and cover the difference between costs for more sustainable
decorations compared to plastic balloons.

recipients)
Miami Beach South Pointe Elementary strives to educate students, faculty, and parents on the
importance of protecting the planet. This year, the school would like to reduce its plastic use from
all school events. This grant will be used to purchase water coolers for large community events
and to cover the difference in the cost of purchasing paper decorations or rental decorations for
school events in lieu of the standard balloon decorations that we have used year after year.
Each school year, the school hosts several faculty luncheons, student classroom celebrations,
bake sales, and community events. During these events there is a need for utensils, cups,
decorations, and the like. Since Miami Beach South Pointe Elementary is a green school, parents
and faculty are encouraged to bring in alternative options to plastic water bottles and utensils.
However, the economic ability of our parents varies so some parents choose plastic cutlery,
straws, plates, cups, and of course plastic water bottles to the alternative, more eco-friendly
options. Additionally, for the past several years we have had Pre-K, Kindergarten, and 5th grade
graduation ceremonies adorned with balloons. The school would like to completely eliminate the
use of balloons in further events this school year 2023-24. Because eco-friendly paper
decorations are more costly to balloons, the grant will cover the difference in costs.
GOALS/OUTCOMES
(Include outcomes, measures, and targets)
South Pointe Elementary School intends to eliminate the use of all plastic cutlery, plates, water
bottles, balloons, and other decorations from all school events. We will provide the cost and
quantities for all materials used last year and compare to the more sustainable options purchased
this year, comparing cost differences between the plastic products versus the sustainable
products.
