Framingham Public Schools (FPS), in collaboration with the Cooler Communities Program and the City of Framingham is inviting all residents to Framingham’s second Cooler Communities Fair at Harmony Grove Elementary School on Saturday, May 13, 2023, from 11am to 1pm. FPS students will again show their amazing projects on climate change, energy efficiency, and related subjects, and Framingham’ sustainability committee will have lots of information for parents and community members on how to save on energy bills and live in more climate-friendly ways. There will also be free – and great! – food, ice cream as well as fun games and activities for children, and an appearance by the Framingham Public Libraries’ Bookmobile, if the weather allows. The event is free. The Framing Cooler Communities program is supported by the FPS Office of Equity, Diversity, and Community Engagement, the FPS Community Resource Development Department, students and faculty of various elementary and middle schools, the Framingham High School Environmental Awareness Club and the Sustainability Committee. Parents and families are encouraged to attend to learn about opportunities to help reduce the community’s carbon footprint and their own utility costs. _____ Venga y aprenda de los estudiantes de FPS mientras muestran sus increíbles proyectos sobre cambio climático, eficiencia energética y otros temas relacionados, además el comité de sostenibilidad de Framingham tendrá una gran cantidad de información para los padres y miembros de la comunidad sobre cómo ahorrar en las facturas de energía y vivir de una manera más amigable con el medio ambiente.

Comida & sorvete grátis Atividades divertidas Atividades para as crianças E uma participação especial do Livro Móvel da Biblioteca Pública de Framingham!SÁBADO, 13 DE MAIO: 11AM -1PM ESCOLA FUNDAMENTAL HARMONY GROVE Over the past 4 years the Cooler Communities school grant program at the Harold Grinspoon Charitable Foundation has connected classroom learning to climate solutions across Massachusetts communities. Framingham participated in its first event in the spring of 2022. The short video above describes how Cooler Communities works and features some Framingham participants! Students study climate - , energy-, and conservation- related topics across different subjects (art, science, civics) and grade levels as part of and drawn from their existing curriculum work, leading up to a public event, held in the spring. At these Cooler Community events, visitors learn from the students and pledge climate action in support of their work and for the benefit of their own families and the town. Because Cooler Communities leverages students’ curriculum work on energy and climate change to take their community on a path toward climate-smarter energy and lifestyle choices, students can see the relevance of their work in 'real life'. And by reaching parents and neighbors who otherwise might not have or take opportunities to learn about energy efficiency incentives, renewable energy and other ways to live more healthy and affordable lives, we broaden the conversation on these topics.
