Students & Sustainability

Our Goal:

How might we encourage students to make more sustainable and environmentally conscious decisions?

The world around us is ever-changing and the more that it's changing, the more important it is for our students to realize the impact that we each have on our Earth. Our goal is to inspire our students to want to make decisions that will allow them to realize the impact they personally have on our beautiful planet. We only get one planet and it's time we teach and inspire our students to take care of it!
