It’s Easy Being Green! Grand View Wins National Green Ribbons School Award!

Dear Grand View,

It is with much pride that I inform you that today Grand View Elementary School was officially selected as a “National Green Ribbon School”. This honor is only being awarded to 78 schools across the United States of America. With over 220,000 private and public schools in America this means that Grand View finds itself in the company of .0003% of all schools. I will be flying to Washington DC on June 3rd to accept this well-deserved award on behalf of our students, staff and parents who have clearly shown themselves to be worthy of the title, “Greenest School in the Nation”.

Congratulations to each of you for helping us obtain this honor.

Warm Regards,

Rhonda Steinberg

Growing Great Garden Featured in Beach Reporter

(From The Beach Reporter, March 15, 2012)

Grand View's Growing Great Garden was featured on the front page of The Beach Reporter on March 15, 2012.

Grand View Elementary is nothing if not green.

The school has prided itself on its environmental programs like Walk to School Wednesdays, in-class composting and recycling, and innovative green curriculum and was the pilot school for the nationally-recognized Grades of Green program. The school is well known for cutting its lunch trash down from 40 bags to only two per day for 700 students and has been featured on national TV shows.

And now, a new mural painted in the school’s garden will serve as a colorful depiction of the school’s eco-friendly programs, namely its bountiful student-tended garden, for years to come.

“We are very proud of the new mural, which emphasizes our love of healthy eating and the green motto at Grand View of eating what you grow and then composting the remains,” said Principal Rhonda Steinberg. “The artist captured the essence of Grand View embracing the Growing Great program.”
