On Sunday, April 27, from 10am-2pm, the Santa Cruz County Office of Education will highlight the amazing work of local environmental changemakers!

40 teachers will share project highlights in an interactive Green Classroom “Share Fair” from 10 am–12 pm followed by an Environmental Resource Fair until 2pm.  Hear about how TK–12th grade students are:

Adding green spaces to campus

Reducing waste at their school

Increasing biodiversity of ecosystems

Working toward green school certification

Reducing environmental impacts on campus

Exploring solutions for climate change

Using journaling and poetry to inspire nature connection

And many more projects!

All are welcome to join in the celebration. We will be honoring teachers who have completed the Teacher Leadership Institute for Sustainability and the Green Classroom Challenge along with schools that are part of the Santa Cruz County Green Schools Program.
