Mindful school environment

Environmental awareness is key to a mighty school.

Walking the talk reinforces the important lessons about caring for the earth that kids are already learning in the classroom. Plus, being mindful of a school environment can have a direct, positive impact on kids’ health.

Simple steps can make a difference. Consider walking or riding bikes to school whenever possible. Reduce waste by recycling and reusing, both at home and at school.  Does your school have a garden or outdoor classroom? Volunteer!

One of the most beneficial things you can do is so everyday, it’s often overlooked:  Turning your car off while waiting outside the school.
