22 FCPS Schools Earn the NWF Green Flag Award
Twenty-two schools across Fairfax County Public Schools are celebrating being honored with a Green Flag award from the National Wildlife Federation (NWF) through the EcoSchools U.S. program.
Only 56 Green Flags were awarded nationwide! At these schools, students and teachers committed to sustainability measures that lead to enough points to earn the award. Five FCPS schools earned a silver award. Some of these measures included engaging the local community, forming an action team, creating a plan, collecting data, taking solution-based actions, and measuring impact.
This student-led program provides opportunities for youth leadership, raising environmental awareness, connecting students to the natural world, and driving positive environmental change.
Get2Green’s Ignite Partnership with the NWF provides a framework for schools to engage in student-led environmental action through the EcoSchools U.S. program.
