Atlanta Public Schools has decided to go green and has applied for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification when building its newest elementary school, Springdale Park (SPARK), located at 1274 Ponce de Leon Ave. between Briarcliff and Springdale roads.
Local restaurant owners Fifth Group (La Tavola, El Taco, Ecco, South City Kitchen (Vinings and Midtown) and Bold American Catering) are supporting the school with a special fundraiser at El Taco. El Taco is one of Atlanta’s first zero-waste restaurants, which mean no waste at the end of the night–all materials are either recycled or put to compost–so it’s the perfect choice for this special dine-out night. The Va-Hi Mexican restaurant is donating 20 percent of the night’s food sales back to SPARK to help make their vision a reality.
For reservations of seven or more, please call 404.873.4656–please make sure to identify yourself by saying “I’m dining out for SPARK!”
WHEN: Tuesday, March 30, 2010, 5-10 p.m.
WHERE: El Taco, 1186 N. Highland Avenue (at Amsterdam Ave.)
