The children at two elementary schools in Arizona and Indiana are sporting new, green-themed backpacks this week, thanks to TurfMutt. The lucky students attend the schools that were named runners-up in TurfMutt’s second annual “Spruce Up Your School” Sweepstakes.
The winning schools were nominated by Ms. Becky Adams from Hearn Academy in Phoenix, Ariz., and Mr. Robert Voss from Yorktown Elementary in Yorktown, Ind. Thanks to these teachers’ dedication to eco-consciousness, each of their students received TurfMutt-themed “Green Packs” stuffed with eco-friendly school supplies, a canvas backpack, lunch bag, colored pencils and a water bottle.
The grand prize winner – Morgan Elementary School in Paducah, Ky., received a $5,000 grant to improve the green space around the school playground and common area.
To congratulate the winners TurfMutt (a.k.a. Lucky the rescue dog) is doing a full-body wag!
