Students of all ages across Aurora Public Schools are on a mission to save the world, literally. Our students are embracing eco-friendly practices and taking time out of their busy days to promote energy and resource conservation.
At the Spring Green Star Schools Kick Off, students and staff gathered to connect with industry partners, learn ways to make schools more sustainable and determine how to engage more people in their efforts.
