State College Friends School Honored with Emerald Award

It's easy being green if you're a student at State College Friends School.  The practice of reducing waste, recycling, and re purposing materials is widely embraced from PreK through grade 8 at Friends School as one of our guiding values at the school is stewardship.  At the recent Centre County Recycling & Refuse Authority awards luncheon Friends School was one of 58 organizations to be honored as one of College Township's  best green businesses.  State College Friends School was one of 5 recipients of the highest award - the Emerald.
 
Over 100 area business owners, teachers, school administrators and employees were present at the awards luncheon, held in coordination with Earth Day, to receive recognition for their efforts both in recycling and sustainability.
 
CCRRA’s Recycling Coordinator, Joanne Shafer addressed the crowd and spoke of our 2018 Emerald Award Winners: The DEP Moshannon District Mining Office, Grace Lutheran Church; Grace Lutheran Preschool & Kindergarten & State College Friends School.
