Got Kids In School? Wellesley Green Schools wants to (re)connect with you!

10/6/2021

You are invited for a Wellesley Green Schools get together on Tuesday, October 19th from 10am to 11:30am at 76 Cleveland Rd (between Weston and Westgate).

Wellesley Green Schools is collaborative group of caregivers, students and staff working together to reduce Wellesley schools' ecological footprints, and inspire students to create a healthy sustainable world.

We hope to meet outside so dress warmly while enjoying hot cider on the deck with blankets. If need be, we will go inside masked. Topics include:

Learn about Safe Routes to School program from Wellesley School Committee member Catherine Mirick.
Share what is important to you/your school community this academic year.
How can our school community help Wellesley meet its goal of achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050? We can frame it knowing that buildings (municipal, residential and commercial) represent 53% of our greenhouse gas emissions in town, followed by transportation at 46% and only 1% from waste.

Please join us! If you can, please email us at info@sustainablewellesley.com so we know how many are coming.
