Connections

“Our Green Rivers Club started as a grassroots thing, the idea of just two students. Now it involves the whole school community and many different projects. From the beginning, PLT’s GreenSchools! program has helped our students grow in skills, leadership, and environmental awareness.” --Christie Hazen, Enrichment Coordinator, Two Rivers Magnet Middle School, East Hartford and PLT CT Educator of the Year,

Small Group Discussion Questions 1.What are some possible environmental action projects that could combine community service with student learning? 2.What state or local partner organizations might you involve in PLT GreenSchools? 3. If you have an existing “Green Schools” type program – how might you partner with them to accomplish the goals of PLT’s GreenSchools! initiative?
