The Penguins took part in a special pep rally with second graders at the Environmental Charter School. Those same students are also participating in the Two Million Cans Recycling Contest.

Through @ecspgh’s innovative curriculum rooted in eco-literacy, it fosters the development of active, involved, empathetic citizens. ECS students become critical thinkers & agents of change, equipped to address real-world challenges. #MentoringAmplifies #EarthMonth
ECS retweeted
Eco-literacy is the organizing principle of @ecspgh. It's about how everything in the world is connected. The choices we make, whether in our local communities or globally, affect all these systems. Eco-literacy is looking at the big picture & understanding how everything works.
Thank you Dr. Cheryl Chase for visiting ECS and sharing her wealth of knowledge about the executive functions of children.🧠 #GrowingCitizens
Kudos to the ECS PCO for providing homemade baked goods for attendees🧁
