CELEBRATION
The Green School Program notes the importance of commending and recognizing the students, faculty, community, and parents’ achievements associated with their environmental activities. This should be open to the public and should display all of the best management practices at the school (MAEOE, 2012a). The school should report all of its accomplishments and be proud of all they have achieved in order to instill pride in the entire student body, faculty, and parents who participated in the events. This 48
step helps ensure the growth and development of the green school's educational practices (MAEOE, 2012a). This is not limited to a single event, celebration should happen often and publicly.
The Magothy School celebrated their achievements in a variety of different ways: they set up outdoor tables in order to show off what they've done in their gardens; they had community days where the community could come and participate in the Boy Scouts birdfeeder project; on Earth Day, they invited the community to come out and participate in a variety of events (MAEOE, 2012b). Their Earth Day, daylong celebration, is a great way to involve community and family in the environmental practices the school is advocating and promoting. The local paper also published a small article in reference to the Earth Day event (MAEOE, 2012b). This engagement shows the students that the community cares about all the environmental education going on at their school.
ACCE has an opportunity to celebrate on a daily basis. Their community garden is an essential element of their environmental engagement and ACCE is well positioned to hold an Earth Day celebration of its own (MAEOE, 2012d). The local community, friends and family could be invited to the school to see and participate in the planting and harvesting of the garden. Environmental artwork displayed around the school is another way that ACCE can congratulate and celebrate their environmental awareness (MAEOE, 2012d). The Mayor of Baltimore City came to the school to plant a tree and support their greening efforts gaining positive media attention from their environmental activism.
