North Shore Country Day School Environmental Club
We educate, we clean, we inspire. From trash-sorting workshops to beach cleanups — every action counts.
Join UsEcoGuardians is a student-led club dedicated to building a greener campus and community.
We visit the middle school every month to teach younger students how to sort waste properly — recyclables, compost, and landfill. Hands-on games & quizzes included!
Once a month we head to Lake Michigan beaches with gloves and bags. Last year we collected over 200 lbs of trash. Every pound makes a difference.
From poster design competitions to "Skip the Straw" weeks — we spread awareness across the whole school through creative campaigns.
We partner with local environmental orgs to amplify our reach. Past events include tree planting, recycling drives, and Earth Day festivals.
