Certificates of Recognition
for Green Teams and Individual Students, Staff and Parents
In response to feedback from schools, this year, instead of printing and mailing certificates for individual students, staff and volunteers, the Green Schools Program is providing two “fill-able PDF” certificate forms that schools can access on the program website. One form is a full-page certificate and the other form includes six small certificates on one page.
Now, at any time during the school year, you may type names directly into the fill-able PDF forms and print them. Instructions are provided below.
If your school wants to give certificates of recognition to students, staff, parents or teams who have helped with conservation efforts, these waste reduction tips will help you do it in a more environmentally-friendly way.
The program will continue to provide a certificate of recognition to each school after it completes a program level.
Thank you for all you are doing to save natural resources and to engage students in learning about conservation!
Waste Reduction Tips
To conserve paper and ink, please consider the following ideas:
- Print one certificate for your Green Team instead of printing one certificate for each student, staff and parent volunteer. Last year several schools read aloud the names of each team member at an assembly and asked all team members to come forward to accept the team certificate. Schools then hung the team certificate in a hallway or main office.
- Use the certificate form that includes six small certificate cards on each page instead of printing a full-page certificate for each person. Each certificate recipient would receive a small card instead of an 8 ½ by 11 certificate.
Instructions
For the full-page certificate form
- Open the certificate form (PDF, 211 K).
- Type the name of the student, staff member, parent volunteer or team in the first white box.
- If desired, type the name of your school in the second white box.
- Print each certificate form after you type in the name of the recipient. You cannot save each form, so remember to print each certificate after you type in the recipient’s name.
For the certificate form with six certificates per page
- Open the certificate form (PDF, 710 K).
- Type the name of the student, staff member, parent volunteer or team in the white box. (There is no room on the card for the name of the school.)
- Print each certificate form after you type in the names of the six recipients. You cannot save each form, so remember to print each certificate page after you fill in the six names.
- Use a paper cutter to cut out each certificate card.
Notes about printing:
- The certificates will be more durable if they are printed on heavy stock.
- If your school does not have a color printer, consider asking a parent volunteer to fill in the certificates and print them on a home printer.
If you have questions about the certificates, please contact the Green Schools Program online or at 206-296-8457.
