Building Healthy Communities!
In our effort to build healthy, safe and sustainable communities, we would like to encourage students, parents and community members to work together!
Presidio Education® has gathered thousands of supplies, including masks, sanitizers, soaps, water bottles, backpacks and first aid kits, that will be donated to the homeless in San Francisco. We'll post pictures soon!
Sofia Robles, our Sustainability Team Captain (College Intern), has written an article on leading a healthy lifestyle. As many lead very busy lives, her article reminds everyone to take care of their health!
Likewise, Anthony Du, one of our leading 11th graders, has written an article on Social Distancing Urgency to remind us about this crucial safety guideline. He reminds us to be responsible for our actions and to consider the severe consequences of underestimating social distancing.
We have also received many entry papers for our Sustainability Project Competition (SPC). Winners will join our next Presidio Impact project in Asia next April 2021. Students will work together to solve challenging sustainability problems to help impoverished children. Students will then fly together with faculty chaperones on an all-expenses paid trip to execute their projects. This is a wonderful service opportunity for students who want to help build communities!
