2017-18 Green Schools Recognition Program Results
The Green Schools Recognition Program is in its second year and even more schools are participating! This program provides schools with a list of environmental activities to choose from and complete throughout the year. Each activity has a point value, and funds can be earned for reaching certain levels of achievement. We are thrilled to announce that over 400 green activities were reported from 23 schools for the 2017-18 school year. This program is not a competition, and all schools are eligible for recognition and funding. Funding can go toward an approved school sustainability project. Just to name a few examples, funds may be used to purchase gardening tools, litter clean up supplies, or materials for hosting an Earth Day celebration.
