OK Green Schools - Welcome Back

View this email in your browser

If you plan to participate in the Oklahoma Green Schools Program during the 2017-2018 school year, we ask that you please register on our website, even if you have registered in years past.
http://www.okgreenschools.org/6-steps-to-certification/application/

The only way we know that your school is still participating in the program is if you continue to register every year. Our funding is partially based on the participation in the program, so please help us account for all participating schools!

ALL SCHOOLS that REGISTER for the 2017/2018 school year will be asked if you'd like to receive a FREE PRINTED COPY of the 2016 updated PLT GREENSCHOOLS INVESTIGATIONS for either K-12 or the EARLY CHILDHOOD version!

SCHOOL CHEMICAL DISPOSAL!

Are you in a new school or new classroom this year? Do you teach science and just found a stash of outdated or unusable chemicals and don't know what to do with them? Even if you have been in the same classroom for years and the problem has only magnified, the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) can help!

The DEQ is currently accepting applications for the School Chemical Disposal Program which removes unused, outdated and potentially dangerous chemicals from school laboratories across the state at NO CHARGE to the school.

The goal of the program is to create a safer laboratory environment in Oklahoma schools and prevent any chemical disasters.
