What is the Green Ribbon Schools Program?
Green Ribbon Schools (GRS) is an award program that recognizes schools participating in activities that promote and encourage a healthy and environmentally friendly learning environment. These activities must fall under the 4 Cornerstones of a Green Ribbon School (Eco-Campus, Health & Fitness, Nature Adventure, Natural Classrooms). By participating in these activities a school is providing a healthier, happier and smarter campus for students, teachers and the community.
Healthy and growing. Holistic. Purposeful. A Green Ribbon School takes a comprehensive approach to help students reach their potential.
