We recently received the following letter from Wayne County Michigan Green Schools.  It was addressed to Rebecca Tate, director of the Consortium Green School Initiative.

Dear Rebecca:

I received and reviewed your Michigan Green School application. 
Congratulations! Because of the hard work from the teachers, students and
parents, Consortium College Preparatory High School has received the 2012
Michigan Emerald School designation, by completing at least 15 energy saving and
environmental tasks.  The efforts you made to complete the tasks are
very impressive.  I especially enjoyed learning of your plans
for a Green Roof
.  I urge Consortium College Preparatory High
School to continue with the energy saving and environmental tasks and hope you
encourage others to follow. 
 
I will stay in contact with you regarding your certificate, banner, and the
recognition ceremony, which will be held later this spring.   Please
note that if you already received a banner you will be receiving an annual decal
to place on your banner.
 
Please let me know if you have any questions.
 
Thank you,
Nancy Gregor
Wayne County Michigan Green School Co-Coordinator

Because of the hard work by our teachers, students, and parents, Consortium College Preparatory High School has received the 2011 Michigan Emerald School designation.

Our students and staff have completed at least 15 energy saving and environmental tasks.  Nancy Gregor, Wayne County Michigan Green School Co-coordinator, wrote: "The efforts you made to complete the tasks are very impressive.  I urge Consortium College Preparatory High School to continue with the energy saving and environmental tasks and hope you encourage others to follow."

Students actively participate in a school-wide recycling program.  They discuss alternative energy in their science classes.  We have had visitors from the Sierra Club, speaking about endangered species.  There will be a recognition ceremony to be held later this spring, and Consortium also received a banner to be displayed in front of the school.  We are the first Leona Group school in Wayne County to earn this honor.
