Earth Care, the Santa Fe Public Schools Energy Conservation Program, City of Sana Fe and National Wildlife Federation are now accepting nominations for the 2012 Sustainable School Awards for projects launched or completed in 2011, until March 15th, 2012.

Public, private and charter schools may apply. Awards are given in nine Sustainable Schools Pathways and we encourage schools to pursue and nominate projects in each category.

You may nominate one project from your school in each pathway but you must fill out a different survey form for each project. CLICK HERE FOR THE NOMINATION FORM.

Teachers, students, administrators and partners may submit nominations by March 15th on behalf of a project(s) at their school. We encourage schools to develop and submit nominations for projects in each category every year.
