• CLIMATE ACTION DAY

  Wednesday, April 22nd
  
  Climate Action Days are a fun, creative learning opportunity for entire school communities. They are also a way that any school can get started with climate action.

  April 22nd is the third of four Climate Action days. Today we are focusing on Health, Wellness, and Green Space.

  Every school chooses activities — or creates their own — that best serve their students and interests.

  The MS54 Green Team is working with teachers to present information homeroom classes.

  Each climate action day is based on a theme, and showcases the importance of climate education and sustainability practices. Learn more about NYCPS Climate Action Days.

  Happy Earth Day everyone! It is also Climate Action Day: Health, Wellness and Green Space. Today is about taking care of the earth and also taking care of yourself. We can draw from the other three climate action days and continue to Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Compost. We can also be mindful of our health and wellness and enjoy the many parks and green spaces that are around us on the Upper West Side. Whether putting down your device or taking a study break, spend some time outside and enjoy the cherry blossoms and spring bulls that are in full bloom. Engage all of your senses and enjoy the benefits of being in nature: stress reduction, improved focus and an enhanced sense of well-being.

  Earth Day Challenge: If you do see a piece of trash outside, pitch in and pitch it into the trash!
