Community Engagement: The greening initiative is not just about planting trees but about planting the seeds of community and engagement. It encourages students, teachers, and local residents to work together, fostering a strong sense of community pride and ownership.
Environmental Stewardship: By greening our schools, we are teaching students the importance of sustainability and environmental stewardship, empowering them to become advocates for a greener future.
