Deer Park - Silver Status!

We have some exciting news from the Green Team!  Deer Park has achieved Silver Status Certification with the National Wildlife Foundation's EcoSchools US  inititative! 

Within this system, Silver is the second of four certifications we aim to achieve over the next few years; our student leaders' tremendous efforts allowed them to skip over the first step (bronze status), and go straight to the second.

We could not be any prouder of our wonderful student leaders, and the school community’s commitment to seeing this through. There is more work to be done, but this represents an important milestone for our school and community. Be on the lookout for our end-of-year newsletter with a brief survey on the Green Team's next steps.

We look forward to building on this auspicious recognition and wildly successful school year in the years ahead!  

CONGRATULATIONS, DEER PARK!

-Mr. Wallace and Mrs. Marco
