Last week, LAS marked a significant milestone in its commitment to sustainability by celebrating Earth Day and achieving the prestigious Eco-Schools certification. This recognition is a testament to the relentless efforts of the school's Eco Club and Student Council, who have been instrumental in fostering a culture of environmental stewardship among the student body. Throughout the year, these student-led initiatives have focused on promoting sustainable practices on campus, with a particular emphasis on UN Sustainable Development Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation. The installation of water refill stations across the campus and the promotion of reusable water bottles are just a few examples of how Leysin American School is making tangible strides towards sustainability.
The Earth Day celebrations at LAS were not only a reflection of the school's environmental achievements but also a vibrant showcase of community spirit. Students and faculty came together to participate in a series of engaging activities designed to raise awareness about the importance of protecting our planet. From workshops on sustainable living to tree-planting ceremonies, the event underscored the school's holistic approach to environmental education. The Eco-Schools certification serves as a beacon of LAS's dedication to integrating sustainability into its curriculum and campus life, setting a benchmark for educational institutions worldwide. The success of these initiatives highlights the pivotal role of student leadership and collective action in driving meaningful change.
