The 2022 Clean Air Calendar

The 2022 Clean Air Calendar has arrived! While on-campus education events were postponed for 2021, the Clean Air Calendar Contest remained a successful outreach tool for the District to engage students from K-12th grade. Participants were asked to submit original artwork illustrating the theme, You’re the Key to a Clean Air Future! Artwork from 12 winners was selected and is featured on the 2022 Clean Air Calendar.
