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.

Get Started

Green Ribbon Schools:

* promote healthy living for students, parents and staff
* connect to nature
* take steps to create an environmentally-friendly campus, encourage physical activity and cooperative outdoor play, foster healthy habits and use nature as a learning tool
* create their own vision and plan and improve over time

Students are healthier, happier and smarter.
