The 2012 award winners will be featured in an article in American School & University Magazine. This is a great opportunity to shine the spotlight on schools committed to green cleaning!

EnvirOx extended their commitment to local sustainability this year by sponsoring the Danville Area Community College Foundation who was able to award 3 scholarships on behalf of EnvirOx. See the photo below with the 2011-2012 award winners and EnvirOx’s Employee Relations Coordinator, Katie McFetridge. EnvirOx looks forward to continuing the scholarship and continuing to support education in our local community.

EnvirOx would like to congratulate East Meadow Union Schools in New York and Columbia Public Schools in Missouri for their award winning cleaning programs!

The East Meadow Union Free School District in Westbury, NY received the 2010 Grand Award for K-12 School Districts and Columbia Public Schools in Columbia, MO received the 2010 Best New Program Award for K-12 Schools Districts from American School & University Magazine in partnership with the Healthy Schools Campaign.

Both of these schools use EnvirOx products everyday, and these products helped them win this prestigious award!

Columbia Public Schools were able to go from using 33 different chemicals to just 9!

Throughout this summer, Healthy Schools Campaign hosted guests from these winning schools in their green cleaning webinar series to help share tips about what worked and helped them have a successful green cleaning program.
