Since its inception in 2016, the Kensington Parkwood Elementary Green Team fostered a community of young environmental stewards and has increased environmental literacy. Engaging with active and supportive community partners was paramount to our success. Our teachers and staff embraced new green lessons and projects. Students thrived in schoolyard science projects and hands-on restoration work. Each new year built upon past efforts and our work continues to blossom, outlasting a global pandemic. The KP Green Team would not be possible without the support and dedication of Principal Candace Ross and the energetic KP PTA.
As an Audubon Naturalist Society GreenKids Graduate, Kensington Parkwood Elementary earned its first Maryland Green Schools Certification in 2018. Since then, we continue to grow in our love and care for the planet. Environmental Literacy for all students remains a core value in the KP community. Our community is grateful for the support and guidance of the Maryland Association of Environmental and Outdoor Education Green School Program. Moving forward, our intentions are to harness new energy and promote environmentalism and sustainability for all.
