With everything our students are doing this month to take action, we wish Earth Month was every month!
Why Can't Earth Month Be Every Month!
While we're always excited to celebrate Mother Earth every April, our students know that we need to protect our planet 365 days of the year! Check out the projects they have been working on since the Climate Solutions Campaign kicked off last September and the many ways you can join in the action.
In partnership with the City of Long Beach, the Mary Bragg Green Team and other volunteers planted 50 trees to help green the First District's residential areas on April 10.

The students of the Building Healthy Relationships class at Stephens Middle School want Long Beach to know that choosing more plant-based meals is one of the key ingredients to fighting climate change.
That is why they are asking you to submit your favorite vegetarian recipes for a new crowd-sourced cooking website that will celebrate how to eat well and help the climate at the same time.
