  • Energy Pod: Build Collective Learning Opportunities and Enriched Experiential Learning through Partnerships

    • Collective learning: students are laying the groundwork for entering energy discussions by learning about greenhouse gases (GHGs) through coursework and the CAAP program, and by enriching their explorations of current solutions through discussions with local research institutions and our own Facilities department.
    • Help build momentum towards our school's goal of achieving a 50% reduction in GHG emissions from the 2021-22 levels by 2032 (TFS' 70th anniversary), as part of our pathway to achieving net zero energy by 2045.
    • Help build momentum towards transforming buildings into authentic learning labs for a regenerative future.

  • Food Pod: Work with the Kitchen as a Collaborative Partner in Achieving Climate Action Goals.

    While many have been working for several years on sustainability and greening the kitchen, this year’s goals are to enhance learning for students through their understanding of food service systems, and by bringing together a coordinated group including students, TFS staff, Chef Ygor, Chartwells' Sustainability Director and District Manager, parents, etc., to discuss areas of sustainability, student cooking opportunities, on campus growing, nutrition education and zero hunger.
