Small Middle School aims to become the first National Wildlife Federation Green Flag School in Texas.

Small Middle School aims to become the first National Wildlife Federation Green Flag School in Texas.

The Green Flag Schools program is run through National Wildlife Federation and the Eco Schools USA. Eco Schools USA is a program aimed to increase and embed environmental curriculum into students daily lives. 

Small was tasked with picking three environmental pathways to improve. We decided on the decreasing the school's energy use, decreasing the waste output, and increasing the school grounds gardens. In working towards this goal we have created an Eco-Action Plan, worked with community members, staff, and students, conducted school audits, discussed our work in classes, and have monitored our progress.
If you are interested in aiding our work, or becoming part of our Action Committee, please contact carly.surratt@austinisd.org or nate.rosenberg@austinisd.org. Thanks.
