To support schools with their Idling Reduction Campaign, the District's Environmental & Conservation Services (ECS) Department is partnering with local municipalities to host the K-12 Idle-Free Schools Poster Contest. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, idling vehicles contribute to air pollution and emit air toxins, which are pollutants known or suspected to cause cancer or other serious health effects.

The posters will be judged by the District's Sustainability Advisory Committee and ECS staff. The winning poster(s) will be printed and distributed to schools District-wide during the 2024-2025 school year. We encourage posters that convey messages such as:

• Our School Is Idle-Free

• Idle-Free School Zone: Kids at Work!

• Breathing in progress: Stop your engine when you’re not moving

• Stop a block away, park, and walk: Make our school safe!

• Kids Zone: No idling, please

• Turn off your engine: keep our air clean

• Not moving? Turn it off.

All posters need to be original works created by the individual who is submitting the image. The deadline to submit is May 9. *Students must be logged into their school email address to submit this form.
