They might just be
here in the classrooms of
Baltimore County Public
Schools. To promote the
importance of attendance –
being in school on time and

student attendance
commercial contest. More
than 43 entries were
received from elementary,
middle and high school
students and student groups
around the county.

There are
displays in the lobby,
including a “Billion Acts
of Green" installation
that details the
environmentally-friendly
things students can do.
There are dozens of
recycling pails that
double as seats when a
class goes outside to
study the Bear Creek
ecosystem.
The state won’t choose
Green Schools for a while
yet, but on Monday, Bear
Creek’s green efforts paid
off – thanks to support
from community clean-up
organizations, the school
won the $3,000 grand prize
award for the 2015 Team
BCPS Clean Green 15
Challenge.
The school captured top
honors by marshalling
nearly 900 volunteers
during two clean-ups that
netted 13,044 pounds of
trash from school grounds
and in the community,
enough to fill 1,203 large
trash bags. Six other
schools also were awarded
grants and prizes for
their participation in the
Clean Green campaign.

* Dulaney High School (#571)
* Eastern Technical High
School (#556)
* George Washington Carver
Center for Arts and

New Town High (which ranked
just out of the top 1,000 at
#1,018) and Eastern Tech
placed #452 and #410
respectively on the Beating
the Odds list.
Both schools also were
identified as meeting
