Exciting sustainability achievement 🌎 We are thrilled to announce that KLSD has received the New York State Green Ribbon Schools award! From solar power to cleaner transportation to a geothermal energy system, our efforts are making a big impact. Students are leading the way by advocating for climate policy, getting their hands dirty in the garden, and working with local conservation organizations.

Bluebirds are getting a helping hand this spring 🐦💙AP Environmental Science students are helping bluebirds thrive by clearing out old nests, monitoring activity, and supporting local populations impacted by habitat loss and competition. Real-world science in action (with a front-row seat to new life!).

Another Successful Sustainability Showcase 🌱🌎

On Tuesday evening, the district celebrated its sustainability progress and goals with student projects, examples of energy savings across the district, and even a tour on board one of the district’s electric buses.

Elementary school Green Teams showed off their efforts and older students shared research projects. These initiatives focused on recycling and waste reduction, protecting wildlife and habitats, and the impact of everyday choices on the environment, along with ecosystem models and builds created from reused materials. Our community partners joined the conversation with displays and a Q&A panel, highlighting conservation efforts, wildlife education, and sustainable practices.
