Bonus Activities

Community Involvement:

It is important for schools to nurture community partnerships in order to expose students to initiatives that are being done locally, regionally, as well as nationally and internationally. This helps students to feel that they are part of a bigger movement and see why the curriculum skills and knowledge they are learning can be put towards real life situations. These activities promote connections and increase appreciation for their community, teaching them how to become environmental stewards.

Guidelines:

  • Schools must submit application by specified deadline. Click here for Bonus Activities Submission Form.
