2012-2013 was an outstanding school year for the Cyberways and Waterways’ programs Green Ribbon Schools and Healthivores. The staff, parents and students went above and beyond last year by sharing their programs by using not only words, but also photos and videos. You know what they say, a picture is worth a thousand words!
This year we are awarding 41 schools, in 10 states and Guam, Green Ribbon Schools Award status! A few of our favorite projects include:
- Rainbow Mountain Children’s School in Asheville, NC, created a stunning playground made entirely from recycled wood, that mimics a village in the woods. (Cyndi Calhoun, teacher)
- Highland Park Elementary in Austin, TX, collected jack-o-lantern pumpkins to compost from the Austin community after the Halloween holiday. (Alyssa Absher, teacher)
- Oppe Elementary in Galveston, TX, traveled to Austin in March, testified before the House of Representatives, and go a bill unanimously passed to make the Kemp Ridley sea turtle the official sea turtle of Texas. Endorsed by local Rep. Craig Eiland, the students learned about nature and how a bill was passed. (Kathryn Pistone, teacher)
- Schuylerville School District in Schuylerville, NY, hosted an electronics recycling drive to keep harmful electronics out of landfills. They collected 25,500 lbs of electronics in four hours. (Deborah McGloine, teacher)
