Volume 10 | Issue 4

As 2022 comes to a close we are reflecting on all the amazing things we accomplished in the first half of this school year. For the 2022-2023 program year, the Green Schools Challenge has enrolled a record 140 K-12 schools!

We held 4 professional development trainings for 125 teachers including a PD focused on energy efficiency with our partner Solar United Neighbors and another introducing different citizen science opportunities with the Ocean Conservancy at the Philip & Patricia Frost Museum of Science. We look forward to providing more PDs next year, stay tuned!

If you are K-12 school in South Florida, it's not too late to enroll your school to gain access to free sustainability curriculum, mini grants for green projects, and professional development opportunities for teachers. Sign up now!

Dream in Green's Executive Director, Barbara Martinez-Guerrero, was selected as a climate leader to attend the United Nation's 27th Conference of the Parties in Sharm-el-Sheikh, Egypt from November 7– November 18, 2022. COP27 is a global conference designed to bring together stakeholders from around the world to help tackle the fight against climate change. During Barbara's time at COP27 she was able to bring her knowledge and experience of integrating environmental sustainability into K-12 classrooms and learned about global efforts and opportunities that she hopes to take home to adapt for Dream in Green's programs.
