Gwen Foote, Science Club, & Green School Challenge Collaboration

This year, Gwen Foote sponsored the Science Club at Nautilus Middle School. The students worked in student driven activities with Green School Challenge, www.dreamingreen.org. This ongoing program was initiated by our supportive administration and collaboration with faculty and students.

From GCS: “The Green Schools Challenge involves students and staff directly in designing and implementing environmental and energy solutions at their schools. Local schools reduce their overall carbon footprint while environmental sustainability. Activities are often student-led and usually promote low and no cost conservation as part of the overall plan to reduce the school’s carbon footprint. ”

Students worked with activities in conservation awareness, energy saving projects, and recycling efforts. They met monthly challenges and enjoyed field trips to learn more about energy saving efforts.
