Take Pride in Our Parks

Join Us!

Greetings,
There is a large group of students and staff in District 203 who have become actively involved in the community's environment. S.A.F.E. (Student Action for Earth) and P.I.O.P. (Pride in Our Parks) are the names of NNHS volunteer programs that have grown to near 50 students and staff. We performed over 600 hours of community service and earned the Brooks McCormick Environment Award from the Conservation Foundation of Dupage County last year. Please join us in making Naporville one of the leaders in environmental education and participation.
A pannership has been formed with the Naporville Park District to help with preservation of natural park areas in Naporville. One of our primary objectives is to contact all schools in District 203 and see that there are opportunities for students to participate and grow in a similar environmental way. OUr two groups have also found that combining and coordinating efforts can produce very gratifying results. Ultimately, we are trying to get each school’s group to “Take Pride” in a natural park in the Naperville park system and help provide three things for it:
                          a)increased education and awareness
                          b) maintenance and clean-up
                          c) restoration
Please see attached pannership guidelines for more information.
We know many schools do have programs that might be similar or related. Great! Can we please find out what the name of your club/organization is and who the sponsor(s) is (are)? We want to communicate and possibly work with your group in the future, ffyou do not have a group but are interested, please let us know. We will bring a small group of leaders to you and make presentations providing ways that will help get things going.
