“Being a Green District means acknowledging the responsibility to consider how well our children are prepared for the world, and what kind of world we are creating for them. The students are our greatest resources. We are not only providing an environment that is conducive to learning but teaching and leading by example, the future leaders of the world. If we can instill in our children the care, knowledge and importance of Green & Healthy we are giving the next generation the leaders it will take to better deal with the critical environmental issues.” Dennis Kuchenmeister 2.
