Student Learning
Students learn about sustainability through instruction on conservation and natural resources in science, social studies and other areas.
Community partners also provide assistance. For example, the King County Green Schools Program provides assistance, educational resources and recognition for schools. Sustainability Ambassadors inspires students to initiate sustainability goals in their communities and measure performance along the way.

School Sustainability Efforts
In early April, the Lake Washington High School (LWHS) Green Team held an after-school event aimed at educating parents, students and other drivers on the environmental impact of idling.
Juanita High School Earth Corps students filmed in forests, trails and oceans to create a video about their favorite natural places.
Kangs can compost, fill a reusable water bottle, recycle, ride a bike instead of driving, buy used clothes, take shorter showers and turn off the lights. These ideas were included in videos submitted by the Green Team at Lake Washington High School and published on the ASB Instagram page.
