How to get a Go Green Tustin grant.

All TUSD schools are eligible for up to $1,000 to support their efforts to “Go Green.” Funds can be used to jump-start a program or to expand current efforts. Anything that supports environmental education can be purchased through this project, which is sponsored by the Tustin Public Schools Foundation.

For ideas and background information about the national Go Green Initiative, download the Planning Guide: http://gogreeninitiative.org/PDF/PlanningGuide.pdf

We suggest forming a group at your school that will implement your Go Green activities. Successful projects usually include a combination of parents, teachers/staff and students.

When you are ready to apply for your grant, submit a simple online form: http://www.tpsf.net/GoGreenForm.htm.

Funds will then be forwarded to your school’s PTA or PTO. A progress report is due by June 30: http://www.tpsf.net/PDFs/Progress%20Report.pdf

Please keep the Tustin Public Schools Foundation aware of your progress (info@tpsf.net). We appreciate photos, newsletter articles and invitations to see your project in action.

Go Green, Tustin!

Go Green Kick Off Meeting

Do you know the best place to buy voracious worms? Over 30 parents, teachers, principals and community members now do. At the Tustin Public Schools Foundation’s Go Green Tustin meeting on Jan. 28, representatives from Tustin Unified Schools shared their tips for making our schools “greener.”

This blog is a place where we can share resources, ask questions, and work together to help our schools Go Green. We hope it will be helpful. When you add your own comments, please tell us who you are. Sign your comments with your name and the school or company you represent (Name/School).

Go Green, Tustin!
