On
Friday, April 24, CCES earned its first Green
Step in recognition of the Rain Garden constructed
by Senior IB students. CCES works on many environmental projects
and hopes to earn additional Green Steps each year.

more information on the construction of the Rain Garden, please

Alysen
Woodruff, City of Greenville Recycling Coordinator and Greenville
County Green Steps Coordinator, was in attendance and presented
the school with a certificate to commemorate the occasion. The certificate
was in a frame that was, appropriately, made of recycled tires.
During
the ceremony, students presented their findings from the past year
and talked about the process they went through to earn the school’s
first Green Step.
Green
Step Schools began in 2003 as a means to challenge the youth of
South Carolina to take steps towards helping their schools become
more environmentally friendly. CCES is currently one of 25 schools
sustaining the Green Step Project in the state of South Carolina.
