Montgomery County Offers LEED Outreach for Schools

by Tom Mawson

The NCR chapter has a great opportunity for anyone interested in a community outreach effort to promote green schools in Montgomery County.

Anja Caldwell, with Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) and an active member of the NCR chapter, is looking for volunteers to mentor at two Middle Schools, Poolesville Middle School and Westland Middle School, both in Bethesda, participating in School Building Week. The volunteers need to be confirmed as soon as possible.

Here is the link to the curriculum: http://sbw.cefpifoundation.org/pdf/2008SBWCurriculum.pdf

Being a mentor is a great and gratifying experience and more fun than work!

Anja invites anyone interested to contact her (anja_s_caldwell@mcpsmd.org) or the chapter’s LEED For Schools Advocate, Marilyn Juban, at mjuban@gilbaneco.com.

Please reply via email if you are interested.
