Our annual Tracy Earth Day Challenge (EDC) is a chance for our students to share ideas on how we can do a better job of protecting our planet, and win $1,000 for their classrooms!
Now in its fifth year, the EDC has engaged more than 500 students. Tracy Earth Project is proud to play a role in sparking the passion and action of the next generation of environmental stewards.
All of the projects are displayed during Tracy Earth Day, with the winning classes honored at the event's award ceremony.
