On Wednesday, April 19, 2023, Sacred Heart Greenwich held its second annual Earth Day celebration. The entire student body, along with faculty, spent the day engaged in hands-on workshops, outdoor activities, and presentations.
The school hosted 34 workshops, led by 71 student presenters and 26 faculty leaders on topics ranging from moss science research and bluebird habitats to composting and tree planting. In addition, outside speakers joined the celebration, including Cynthia Scharf, who has worked on climate change at the United Nations.
Sacred Heart Greenwich was recently certified to be an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary. The school is one of the only schools in the country to receive this designation.
Their commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainability is rooted among the school’s mission and goals, stating that students of the Sacred Heart commit themselves to a social awareness that impels to action and promise to be effective stewards of the earth’s resources and work to alleviate the climate crisis.
