Green Schools Quest: Growing Young Champions

Missouri Green Schools enriches learning and lives! Work through three pillars of a Green School - Environmental Impact, Health and Wellness and Sustainability Education - is drawing on the strengths of two terrific partners and their organizations:       Hope Gribble, Green Schools Manager for Missouri Gateway Green Building Council; and Lesli Moylan, Executive Director of Missouri Environmental Education Association. These two leaders and friends have grown a statewide program from St. Louis roots in the Green Schools Quest - with national recognition through U.S. Dept. of Education's Green Ribbon Schools.       This May, teams of students, teachers and professional volunteer mentors are presenting accomplishments in school gardening, gardening, energy efficiency - and more. Their story is a learning experience listeners will love. www.MissouriGreenSchools.org Thanks to Andy Heaslet, Earthworms' audio engineer, and to Jon Valley, KDHX production wiz.
