• Register Your School for the 2024-2025 Green Schools Quest!

    Registration is now open for the annual Green Schools Quest: A Project-Based Challenge! This program, which is a part of the Show-Me Green Schools suite, invites PreK-12 schools in Missouri and Southern Illinois to devise and implement creative, effective and no/low-cost sustainability practices at their school with the help of a Green Mentor. Each participating school forms a team of students (can be a club, class, grade level, or entire school) which is organized by one adult member of a school’s community (teacher, administrator, staff, or parent) who serves as their team’s facilitator. The school is then paired with a Green Mentor from the community who helps with project ideas and resources. Teams engage in their chosen sustainability project from October through March and submit their outcomes for a chance to win cash prizes. Registration deadline is September 15th for schools.
