Recently Healthy Green Schools & Colleges (an HSC program) hosted their 2024 Summer Summit! It was two-days of learning, networking and fun. Attendees toured two of Chicago Public Schools’ campuses. Englewood STEM High School and Mays Elementary School, and got to see their amazing facilities management in action through demonstrations and informative presentations. Thank you to everyone who had a chance to attend and to Chicago Public Schools for allowing us to visit! 📸 by Chicago Public Schools

About us
Healthy Schools Campaign, an independent not-for-profit organization, is the leading authority on healthy school environments and a voice for people who care about our environment, our children, and education. Our mission is to advocate for policies and practices that allow all students, teachers and staff to learn and work in a healthy school environment. We prepare school stakeholders — students, parents, teachers, school nurses, administrators, community members and others — to become leaders in efforts to create change at the school, district, state and national levels. By working with this diverse group of stakeholders, we advocate for change in the school environment and raise awareness of the ways that the air children breathe, the food they eat and the opportunities they have to be physically active shape their health and learning for a lifetime.
