EEP's Mission
It is the mission of CCE's Environmental Enrichment Program (EEP) to build the foundations for an environmentally literate student body that will be better prepared to engage the environmental challenges of the future.
The EEP aims to nurture a culture that fosters love and connection with the natural world through hands-on exploration and play of our campus green spaces. We emphasize environmental stewardship, embracing our school's core values around social justice and food and environmental justice.
“Knowing that you love the earth changes you, activates you to defend and protect and celebrate. But when you feel that the earth loves you in return, that feeling transforms the relationship from a one-way street into a sacred bond.” ― Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants
CCE's Green Schoolyard (NEW!!!)
We will be transforming our Green Schoolyard into a nature-based outdoor play and learning space for environmental enrichment, supporting social emotional learning through the connection to our natural world. The designated space is between the new bike path and the blacktop. If you are interested in joining the CCE Green Schoolyard Committee, please contact us at cesarchavezeep@gmail.com
