Ways to Earn Pearl School Award Points (updated 2022)
The Pearl School Program is one of our largest partnership programs. Through this program over 100 schools have been recognized and rewarded for excellence in environmental education, stewardship and sustainability.
Over the years, LRNow has developed unique programs to expand our partnerships beyond the schools, connecting the schools with local businesses, government agencies and other non-profits. These have included our 15th Anniversary Quilt Project, Reading for the Rivers, and the Award Winning Lynnhaven Trashion Show.

With this information, students determine both physical and behavioral changes that may make a difference in the school’s energy footprint. Energy Audit Kit Resources listed below:
