Green your school challenge!

San Gabriel High School has been entered in the Green Your School Challenge!

The goal is to get as many of these projects done by April 22, with as much people as possible, then post pictures with a short description of what you did. We're also planning some events based on this challenge, so look forward to that! There is a $5,000 prize for the two of the winning schools to put towards future green projects, and $1,000 prizes for 10 schools with the most participants signed up, as well as individual scholarships. [Click here to view the prizes and scholarship info.] 

With the basics covered, let's get on to Environmental's challenges.

Yes, you have been challenged. 

Challenge #1: Take a few minutes to sign up using this link. Just fill in your email address, phone number optional, and click submit. Then fill in the form after that, and voila! You're in. Now...

Challenge #2: Choose a minimum of two of the project ideas from the project list. (I realize, the word project sounds really overwhelming, but in actuality these tasks are quite simple, such as turning the lights off everytime you leave the room, or carpooling to school. Really, I'm not kidding, check out the project list.) Try to do them as diligently and whenever you get the chance, for a week. (Or if you already do them, even better!)

Challenge #3: Take pictures of you doing the project, log in to your account, and post the pictures with an accompanying description to our Green Your School Challenge gallery.

Challenge #4: Get as many of your friends and family to do it with you!

Rinse, and repeat steps #2-4 each week until the deadline. Easy, right?

So.. whatddyaa saay?
