EnviroSchools

Kristin is a recognized GreenGold EnviroSchool. We joined the program in 2018, when some students and teachers decided to take Kristin's sustainability initiatives to the next level. In 2022, we reached GreenGold, the highest possible EnviroSchool level. Read more about our ongoing journey at the Kristin EnviroSchools special site.
