We Can Change the World! And We Have!
Students at Olympus Junior High have been participating in the Lexus Eco Challenge since 2007. During that time, 21 teams have won regional Challenges, and there have been seven 1st Place National winners. Over 100 students have won $386,000 for themselves and our school. During that time, over 80 teams with 500+ students have completed projects that have unequivocally changed our community for the better.
I started Oly Green, an after-school group comprised of students completing projects to benefit our community and the world, in 2012. This club includes students who work to improve our community and who care about helping our school campus, including the Outdoor Classroom.
In 2016, Oly Green was honored to receive the Salt Lake County Commission on Youth Award for our work in encouraging youth to better the community.
