Greening Our Schools
Tonight I'll be speaking at GREENING OUR SCHOOLS at the Neighborhood School in the East Village.
Thu, April 19, 5:30pm – 7:30pm
The Neighborhood School Auditorium 121 East 3rd Street between 1st & Avenue A (map)
Come learn how others are changing their schools - from composting to green roofs, community gardens and CSAs. And from healthy school lunch options to solar power. A little bit of effort goes a long way. Bring your examples and ideas about what more we can do...together. Brought to you by a coalition of East Village/Lower East Side Schools who want to share resources and make an even bigger impact on our children's lives and our community. Solar 1, The Neighborhood School, the Earth School, East Village Community School, Children's Workshop School, NEST, and others.
