RCS Receives Green Award


On Tuesday, June 3rd, the Town of Bedford Conservation Board presented their annual Green Awards, and Rippowam Cisqua School was honored to be among the recipients. The Green Awards were presented to those organizations that work to protect and preserve the Town of Bedford's environment, and RCS was highlighted for its commitment to environmental sustainability in all aspects of school life. The Conservation Board particularly highlighted Rippowam Cisqua School's use of the Rocket Composter, the community garden on the Upper Campus, the School's water conservation efforts, and the School's energy conservation efforts--including the installation and use of solar panels.

The award was presented to Head of School Matthew Nespole at Bedford Town Hall and, in his acceptance remarks, Matthew thanked the Town of Bedford, the Conservation Board, and all of the members of the RCS community--the faculty, staff, parents, students, and parents of alumni--who implement and support the School's sustainability efforts each and every day. Matthew also thanked and acknowledged Director of Buildings and Grounds John Della Vecchia and the entire Buildings and Grounds team for all that they do each day to advance the School's sustainability initiatives.

Congratulations to the entire RCS community on this award! Sustainability is a community-wide effort at Rippowam Cisqua School, and this award is shared by all who work each day to advance the School's mission. Special thanks to the Town of Bedford and the Conservation Board for supporting and acknowledging these efforts through this wonderful awards program!
