MCH is among the 2020 U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon Schools award honorees. MCH has selected based on high achievement in the three ED-GRS Pillars: 1) reduced environmental impact and costs; 2) improved health and wellness; and 3) effective environmental and sustainability education. “This is a huge honor,” says MCH’s Head of School, Jennifer McConnell. “We certainly don’t take this award and title lightly. This has been a years-long effort, with input from our garden specialist, maintenance team, administration and our enthusiastic Green Team.” “This is absolutely a student-led effort,” said MCH Gardening Specialist and Green Team lead, Katherine Stewart. “Caring for the earth is a part of who we are as a community and this award is a very visual representation of our students’ efforts.” For more information on the purpose of the award, visit: https://www2.ed.gov/programs/green-ribbon-schools/index.html To read more about why were chosen for this honor, visit: https://www2.ed.gov/programs/green-ribbon-schools/highlights-2020.pdf Also, check out the official Press Release from the U.S. Department of Education below!
