>Ridgewood Preschool Wins National Competition
Ridgewood, NJ teacher Sara Bauer can now add ‘green champion’ to her resume! Representing Sara’s Preschool in Ridgewood, she competed as a finalist in a national “reality game show inspired” green competition, and with the help of her young but ambitious Kindergarten Enrichment class, beat out four other schools in the contest aimed at greening communities around the country.
Run entirely on Facebook, “The EarthCare Challenge” followed five regional school groups embarking on 31-day green makeovers in their communities. Youth teams from California to Wyoming to New Jersey faced off for chance to win a grant and eco-friendly furnishings for their school. Leading green experts and Facebook and Twitter users nationwide voted on their favorite, and now Sara’s Preschool has a new challenge – how to spend $1,000 to continue a tradition of eco-education!
