Dear Educators,
Before you move on to BBQ's and beaches, the Sustainable Schools team would like to pass along a giant
"THANK YOU" for making this year amazing. Without you, we wouldn't have reached over
1,800 students in more than
60 classrooms throughout Whatcom County.
Interested in taking your students' environmental awareness to the next level?
Participate in the
"It Starts With ME" summer pledge
and get your students thinking about conservation all year long.
In Kindness,
Haley Mountain, Green Classroom Coordinator
