5th and 6th Grade Green Team Students Represent at GMU

Eight representatives from Fairview's 5th and 6th grade Green Team attended the School Environmental Action Showcase at George Mason University on April 6th. The students talked to attendees about Fairview's eco activities, and got a chance to see what other schools across Northern Virginia are doing.  They really enjoyed the hands-on activities put on by local organizations such as the Park Authority and the Soil and Water Conservation District.
