“Through the MGR Foundation, we’re working to create GREEN Community Schools. We are working to create an oasis of learning about the very things that we depend on to give and sustain our lives — air, water and soil to grow our food. We are helping our teachers provide our children with lessons they can both take home and out into the world for the rest of their lives; lessons that will give practical, hands-on, real life knowledge while learning the things they need to do well on standardized tests. Visit our new website at www.GreenCommunitySchools.org to learn more about our initiative, and you can also find us on Twitter @ourGREENschools and Facebook.com/GreenCommunitySchools.” Click here to read the full story.
