The GreenSpot School designation indicates that a school has taken initiatives to educate their students and staff about sustainability, water issues, conserving energy, reducing waste, and green transportation. St. Mary School Catholic school has become the first in Columbus to earn this designation. They have implemented a recycling program, local garden, and composting, which qualified them to become a GreenSpot School. They have created a short video of students discussing their engagement and staff discussing the impact of becoming a GreenSpot School.
From the YouTube video description: "The Song, '' Connect to nature' talks about connecting children to nature using creative medium such as the arts.
The song is part of a research work by Beatrice Dossah with sponsorship from the United Nations University Land Restoration Training Programme in Iceland. The research work was supervised by Dr. Ellen Gunnarsdottir and Dr. Ásthildur Björg Jónsdóttir of the Iceland Academy of Arts."
