BF wins Sustainable Jersey for Schools Award
Sustainable Jersey for Schools, a program for kindergarten through twelfth-grade public schools in New Jersey, is voluntary, but achieving certification is not easy. Each school that is certified must submit documentation to show it has completed a balanced portfolio of the program’s sustainability actions, attaining a minimum number of points. Over 2,700 sustainability actions were completed by schools and districts participating in the Sustainable Jersey for Schools program - from performing energy audits and boosting recycling efforts to integrating sustainability into student learning and promoting student and staff wellness.
At Ben Franklin, we talk a lot about taking care and include taking care of the Earth as part of that. Through sustainable school practices to classrooms lessons to grade level projects, Ben Franklin truly models what it means to take care!
