CORTE MADERA, CA — A school in Marin County was recently recognized as a California Green Ribbon School.

Marin Montessori School in Corte Madera was among 25 schools and eight districts that earned 2020 California Green Ribbon Schools awards, the California Department of Education announced. The award recognizes schools and school districts for environmental excellence.

"Congratulations to the honorees," State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond said in a statement.

"California Green Ribbon Schools expertly use local approaches to tackle global issues such as sustainability and environmental literacy. Students are not only learning and practicing environmental stewardship, but also sharing those sustainable practices with their families and in their communities."
