Brookwood School

A commitment to Sustainability runs deep throughout the Brookwood community.  Science Teacher Ben Wildrick serves as the school's Sustainability Coordinator; at the Board level, Trustee Shannon Cabot heads up the Committee on Sustainability; and within the community, the Parents' Association organizes an active Sustainability Committee. Additionally, three faculty members serve as sustainability liaisons for the school's three divisions: Nancy Evans for Lower School, Henry Oettinger for Middle School, and Annie Johnson for Upper School.

Each year the community holds a Sustainability Fair, which feature student exhibits highlighting sustainable practices and environmental issues, as well as outside community organizations and vendors. This year's Sustainability Fair will be held on Saturday, November 13, 2010, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The School is committed to developing behaviors and attitudes that protect and enhance the environment through our teaching and learning, service, and administrative operations, and we seek to incorporate environmental principles and environmentally responsible practices as fundamental and integrated components of all Brookwood operations and programs.
