National Green Week

Green Education Foundation (GEF) is mobilizing two million children to participate in environmental educational programs during National Green Week 2010 (Feb. 1-5, 2010). The objective is to empower students to become environmental stewards within the context of their own lives.

Students are encouraged to volunteer in a number of environmentally friendly activities. This spring, at SHS students will learn about the gardening and composting if they participate in Nature’s Classroom Club. Students are encouraged to adopt a plant– did you know that using one house plant for every 100 square feet help remove toxins and pollutants indoors. If you don’t already– RECYCLE! Students in some Science classes will learn about auditing classrooms and homes to find energy leaks and correct them in an effort to reduce energy consumption. NY Residents– look for rebates when purchasing energy efficient appliances coming in February.
