R.I. schools win awards for environmental projects

Three Rhode Island schools were recognized today for their work on environmentally friendly projects as part of the Loraine Tisdale Environmental Education Awards sponsored by the Environment Council of Rhode Island Education Fund.

The Paul Cuffee School, a maritime charter school in Providence, won an award for a project that monitors energy use in the school and then uses the results to reduce energy consumption.

Sophia Academy, a private girls school in Providence that serves low-income families, was recognized for a school garden project producing produce for a local food pantry.

And North Kingstown High School won an award for a project monitoring water quality on the Annaquatucket River.

Each school receives a grant of $250 to purchase supplies for their project.
