Pre-Conference Event: Green Steps Gathering

Thursday, June 9, 2022
9am-11am

Aiken Elementary School
2050 Pine Log Rd
Aiken, SC 29803

Cost: FREE

Current and prospective teachers and project mentors are invited to attend this Gathering to learn more about Aiken Elementary School's Green Step Projects and to receive annual Green Step training and updates. Come see how Aiken Elementary's students learn, do and teach others with garden projects (and more) while having fun, improving their environment and earning Green Step Awards. Attendees can win Green Steps learning kits, and qualifying schools and mentors will be presented with their 2022 Green Step certificates.

The SC Green Step Schools Program encourages and empowers SC educators and students to plan, establish and sustain projects that enhance the environment. The program provides support for student-led conservation projects such as school gardens, wildlife habitat, composting, recycling, upcycling, rain barrels, and more.

Light refreshments will be provided when you arrive. Bring a water bottle and dress comfortably, as we will spend most of our time outdoors if weather permits.

If you have any questions about the workshop, contact Green Step Schools Program Coordinator Jane Hiller at at janehiller@gmail.com or 803.741.8250.
