Message from Shay Grant – Clean Campus State Coordinator
The summer is winding down and it’s time to start making back to school plans!
As you are planning for the upcoming 2025-2026 school year, I hope you will make the Clean Campus Program part of your plans! The Clean Campus Program was all over Alabama during the 2024-2025 school year and I hope to be invited to be a part of even more schools and events this year! I enjoyed being part of so many events from school visits to earth day celebrations to water festivals sharing the anti-litter message, as well as working with students and teachers to come up with ways to implement the Clean Campus Program. Please go to www.alpals.org to enroll or renew your membership for the 2025-2026 school year!
The Clean Campus Scrapbook Contest information can be found in this newsletter with applications due back in our office on October 10th. Please include pictures of cleanups, campus beautification projects, recycling successes, or anything else that made your campus shine last year. Remember, 1st prize is $1,000, 2nd is $750, and 3rd is $500 for your school, so it is well worth the effort!
Don’t forget to enroll or renew your membership in the Clean Campus Program for the 2025-2026 school year. The program is completely FREE to all Alabama schools thanks to the generosity of ALFA, Vulcan Materials, and Coca-Cola. More information and registration forms can be found at www.alpals.org. Please call or email me with any questions or to schedule me to come to your school, class, or group, (334) 263-7737 or [email protected].
Together, we can build a cleaner, greener Alabama—one campus at a time.
