2020-2021 Green Schools Challenge Awards Ceremony

On Thursday, May 27, 2021, Dream in Green hosted its Annual Awards Ceremony. With the limitations set by COVID-19, we once again hosted this event virtually.  A recording of the ceremony is available on our YouTube channel and link can be found here.

DIG staff and Board of Director members spent the evening highlighting all of the amazing teachers, students, administrators and schools that participated in the Green Schools Challenge.
