State to announce Delaware's first Green Ribbon winners
Secretary of Education Mark Murphy will announce the state’s first Green Ribbon Award winners during a ceremony at 9 a.m. Tuesday, March 26 at Richardson Park Elementary School.
Three schools will be honored as 2013 Delaware Green Ribbon winners and two other buildings will receive honorable mentions. Collin O’Mara, Delaware’s Secretary of the Environment and Energy, also will be present and congratulate the schools.
The Delaware winners become state nominees in the national competition. The U.S. Department of Education will name those winners next month.
The Green Ribbon program recognizes schools for exemplary achievement and considerable progress in three areas: 1) reducing environmental impact and costs; 2) improving the health and wellness of students and staff; and 3) providing effective environmental and sustainability education by incorporating STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), civic skills and green career pathways.
More information and resources are available on the official Green Ribbon Schools website here.
Richardson Park is located at 16 Idella Avenue in Wilmington.
