Engaging Students in Air Quality Awareness: The Flag Program

Join Chief Air Quality Index Officer and his deputy as they lead fifth graders in a hands-on program to raise awareness about air quality. Students, including Ethan, Dylan, Bella, and more, monitor daily air quality and change flags accordingly. Through teamwork, they learn about pollutants, health effects, and alternative energy sources. The initiative emphasizes community service, education, and environmental responsibility, culminating in green field trips where students explore air quality directly. Thank you for supporting this engaging school program!
