In the classroom

Campus litter clean-up

Walk your school grounds, pick up what doesn’t belong, and send us pictures of your efforts.

Learn about orcas

See Water We Doing for Orcas? then, play the “Orca & Salmon” game!

Campus recycling challenge

Is your school recycling right?  Check out these recycling posters (Pierce County; Tacoma), then survey your bins and come up with a campaign for your school. 

Get creative

What other ideas do you have? What great things are happening that we need to know about?!
