Greetings!
This message is for those interested in the Green School efforts in Florida. The national Green Ribbon Schools program has a February 17th deadline - this Friday. Florida-specific nomination details are below.
The Florida Green School Network is about to launch its new website. The 2012 Florida Green School Awards call for nominations will be announced next month.
This spring, Sustainable Florida is working with the Florida Department of Education and Department of Environmental Protection to develop a series of workshops at the school district level to promote the green schools movement.
To assist in this effort, I invite you to participate in this survey to help us design a program that can best serve your needs.
Thanks in advance for the assistance. Thank you for helping to ensure a sustainable Florida!
All the best, Tim Center, Esq. Executive Director P.S. To keep in touch regarding the Florida Green School Network be sure to join our special Facebook and Twitter accounts to keep up to date. |
