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.

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!
