Congratulations Eagle Rock Elementary for being named a 2019 CA Green Ribbon Schools "Green Achiever"!
"Eagle Rock Elementary underwent a major transformation in 2016, removing 23,789 square feet of asphalt, replacing this with a permeable surface made of decomposed granite and native/drought-tolerant trees and plants. Garden programs, a monarch butterfly way station, outdoor classrooms, and many other opportunities coincide with a Green Club, a Garden Club, a Green Team, and environmental learning throughout the education experience. Programs include activity-based learning opportunities that empower students to explore their environment and undertake environmental challenges that require problem-solving and critical thinking. They learn how ethical decision-making, as well as an appreciation for diversity and adaptability, is a civic responsibility for creating sustainable and collective change for our environment." Eagle Rock received their award from State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond in a ceremony held on April 12. Eagle Rock has also been nominated by California Green Ribbon Schools for the US Department of Energy Green Ribbon award.
