Sharing Celebration
Sharing Celebration
Join us for the Sustainability Teacher Fellowship's in-person Sharing Celebration each June.
Educators and community partners share about the sustainability education projects they have implemented that school year as part of their participation in the program.
This event is designed to celebrate the creativity and dedication of the educators who have found ways to engage their students, from elementary to high school, in contributing to a sustainable future for their communities!
Fellows, program partners, community partners, and school administrators are all encouraged to join us!
