Green Schools Quest 

For the past 8 years, Forsyth School has participated in the Green Schools Quest, a program offered by the US Green Building Council - Missouri Gateway Chapter. This program fosters sustainability projects in schools in the St. Louis metro area. This year, in 2020-21, the sixth grade class learned about the benefits of trees throughout the school year. Some of the benefits include:

​

 * capture carbon to help with climate change

 * provide habitat for animals

 * prevent erosion 

 * shade nearby buildings to save energy

 * add beauty and peace to surroundings

​

These are only a few of the many benefits. Trees are helpful to the environment and are worth saving!
