The Earth Day Challenge is a key part of Tracy Earth Project's Earth Day event.
Our annual Tracy Earth Day Challenge 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! Last year, over 190 students from the Tracy Unified School District accepted the challenge.
We ask students, what part of the environment do you care about? What bothers you? What do you want to address?
