Here are just three of several programs you can choose from:
 
Green Girls. Girls today often cover themselves with toxic makeup, skin care products, hair products, nail products, fragrances, and more. Put all of these chemicals together, and you might have a recipe for illness! Recommended for middle school and high school girls, this workshop teaches girls how to go green with their personal care product choices.
 
Green Music. The Van Burens sing about sustainability and teach students to explore environmental issues through their music. Students work with band members to create their own unique environmentally themed performances.
 
Eat Green, Feel Great! Examine how the food we eat can affect behavior, energy, performance at school, and of course, our ecosystem. We identify potential problems with a diet of over-processed foods, provide guidelines for healthier eating habits, and discuss the benefits of eating locally grown foods.

In August, greenschools officially moved into its new home office at the Massachusetts Audubon Society's Stony Brook Wildlife Sanctuary in Norfolk.

 

"We're thrilled to finally have a some space to call our own," said Robin Organ, greenschools' executive director. "This will help us get better organized and also provides access to the Sanctuary's meeting room facilities. We appreciate the generous lease terms offered by the Massachusetts Audubon Society." If you're in the area, stop by and say hello at the beautiful Stony Brook Wildlife Sanctuary at 108 North Street in Norfolk.
