Students of Canyon High School, one of the 45 founding schools in the State of Texas for the Green Initiative, can enter by Sept. 30 to win a $250 prize for school’s PTSA on the Green Ribbon Schools’ Facebook page.

Canyon High was named one of the founding schools because of its recycling activities, field labs in Palo Duro Canyon, and several other activities and programs that promote a “green” way of thinking. According to the Texas School Business website, schools achieve recognition as a Green Ribbon School by taking a holistic approach to student health and achievement and making improvements over time. The program promotes nutrition, fitness and health; promotes environmentally friendly campuses; promotes outdoor physical activity and nature play; and integrates nature in education.

Here’s how to enter:

1. Go to www.facebook.com/greenribbonschools.
2. Become a fan of the page to post on the Wall.
3. Type “Canyon High School, Canyon, TX” on the Wall.

The Wall post counts as an official entry, and the deadline for all entries is Sept 30. The site will announce winners on Oct 5.
