Green Fair at Irvington High School September 19th

Irvington High School students will host a Green Fair on Saturday September 19th from Noon-5PM.  A wide range of businesses, government agencies and non-profit organizations will be on hand to share examples of their work to promote resource conservation and sustainable practices.  Bicycle tune-ups will be available and participants are encouraged to bring old sneakers, used printer cartridges, and e-waste for recycling.  For more information about the fair, click here: http://calservenetwork.org/IHSgreenfair.html

 

Participants (age 6 and up) may wish to join the Coastal Clean-up effort on Irvington Creek, adjacent to the school, before the fair on the morning of the 19th.  For more information on joining the Coastal Clean-up project (pre-registration required), click here: http://www.fremont.gov/index.aspx?NID=968

 

Last year, Irvington High School was recognized as “America’s Greenest School” in a competition sponsored by IC Bus Company.  Student leaders are working hard to live up to the reputation!
