As a part of the school’s commitment to reduce its carbon footprint, the green coach coordinated the execution of Cool The Earth Campaign, which is a free, ready-to-run program that educates K-8 students and their families about climate change and inspires them to take simple actions to reduce their carbon emissions. Three parents supported the Campaign as volunteer participants.
