2021-22 Green Schools Recognition Program Results

The Green Schools Recognition Program just wrapped up its sixth year! 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 our green, greener, and greenest levels of achievement. We are thrilled to announce that over 160 green activities were completed from 12 schools for the 2021-22 school year!

Just a few examples of the activities include: growing and working in school gardens, participating in community litter clean ups, hosting energy and water saving campaigns, posting Sustainability Tips in school announcements, making t-shirt bags, and so much more! Through this program, LPS students were able to learn about the importance of environmental stewardship while participating in sustainability events that made them aware of how they can change their school and communities.
