In celebration of Earth Month, IUSD Insights sat down with Sustainability Supervisor, Jennifer Razo, to delve into the innovative sustainability initiatives at IUSD.
IUSD recently received the Leroy F. Greene Design & Planning Award of Honor to recognize Solis Park K-8 School for its innovative design elements and flexible and collaborative learning environments.
As part of our commitment to sustainability, IUSD is implementing a three-bin waste sorting system to recycle food waste, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and advance its sustainability goals.
IUSD’s sustainability team held an Earth Day poster contest and asked students to create an original work of art on a poster or create a video demonstrating the theme, “Fighting Climate Change by Reducing Food Waste.”
IUSD students across all grade levels are recognized for their innovative posters demonstrating the theme  “Invest In Our Planet: Act, Innovate, Implement.”

Now in its 52nd year, Earth Day is an opportunity to reflect on environmental awareness, education and sustainability efforts to reduce pollution and waste for a healthier, cleaner environment.

From energy efficiency to recycling, IUSD and our Sustainability Team are dedicated to making our schools and facilities more eco-friendly and sustainable, while educating students and staff about how their daily activities impact the environment.
Last week IUSD students and schools celebrated Earth Day, Read a Book to a Pet Day and World Book Day, while continuing distance learning, engaging in school spirit activities, and sharing important resources and information.
