Keyport Public Schools
Keyport Public School District once again earned Bronze Sustainable Schools certification, a testament to the authentic, hands-on climate action taking place across their schools!
Climate Summer Program at Red Raider University
A four-week, hands-on climate-focused Summer program (Red Raider University) served students in grades K–8, organized by grade-level bands and grounded in experiential, outdoor learning. There was student engagement in gardening tasks such as planting, investigating growth patterns, composting, harvesting, and diagnosing plant health using technology tools.
School Garden Harvest
The school continued its expansion and use of their outdoor classroom as a learning space for literacy, science, and community-building, reinforcing the connection between environmental stewardship and student well-being.
Gardyn Tower
There were many ongoing sustainability efforts during the school year, including student-led harvesting, food sharing with staff and culinary classes, and the launch of indoor hydroponic gardening systems to extend climate learning beyond the growing season.
Visit from NJDOE
In addition to showcasing the above initiatives, Keyport Public Schools has instructional focus on areas including native species, pollinators, raised-bed gardening, climate change and natural disasters, and sustainability practices connected to real-world applications. They demonstrated their incredible work to the NJDOE this school year!
