What is the Green Schools Program?
Established in 2006, the Michigan Green Schools program is open to any K-12 public or private school in Michigan. To receive a “Green School” designation, each school must submit the appropriate application each year and meet the designated criteria. The intent of the Michigan Green Schools Program is to encourage students to participate in activities which help them learn about preserving natural resources, protecting the environment, and to promote energy efficiency and savings. Macomb County’s Green Schools Program is proudly coordinated by the Macomb County Board of Commissioners.
Why Participate in the Green Schools Program?
The Michigan Green Schools Program is a fun, educational initiative that encourages students to participate in activities that are good for the environment and promote energy efficiency and savings.

Green Advocate Winner
Stephen Anderson, Amanda Moore Elementary
Stephen Anderson is a volunteer and member of the parent community at Amanda Moore Elementary School. Stephen’s role transcends that of a typical parent. He is an enthusiastic volunteer, especially when it comes to environmental initiatives. He actively participates in the school’s Green Team bi-monthly meetings and consistently offers his time and skills to support and enhance eco-friendly projects. Stephen initiated the innovative pumpkin recycling event where community members can donate their used pumpkins, which are then given to a local animal shelter. He played a pivotal role in the maintenance and success of Amana Moore Elementary’s greenhouse, which remains the only operational greenhouse within the district, where he conducts weekly inspections of the greenhouse to ensure its stability. Stephen led a cleanup effort during the holiday break, rallying students to collect litter around the school and adjacent nature areas. He crafted new recycling bins for the school and personally collected donated materials for projects, such as wreaths, to ensure their timely completion. He has been an advocate for comprehensive environmental education, ensuring students across all grades grasp the essence of the Amanda Moore Elementary School Green Team’s mission. He addressed the lack of battery recycling by creating an eye-catching, oversized battery collection bin, now a feature in the school’s lobby. Stephen’s proactive approach, his readiness to contribute innovative solutions and his drive to implement sustainable practices have made a profound impact in just a few months.
