Celebration
The Gunston School’s annual Earth Day (April) celebration focuses on increasing student awareness of the surrounding environment. A wide variety of workshops are available for students to participate in, all geared toward fostering a relationship between students and the environment. Guests from local organizations are invited to spend the day with students and share their knowledge of environmental topics during these workshops. Past Earth Day celebrations have centered around workshops featuring bees, oysters, mushrooms, and road clean-ups, to name a few. An engaging "Earth Day Fair" acts as the centerpiece to this day filled with environmental fun. Students are given the opportunity to explore different sustainable topics featured in each booth, which are student-run.
