🚗 Anti-Idling Campaign
Idling cars = more air pollution, especially during drop-off and pick-up. Kids’ lungs are still developing—help protect them by turning off your engine while you wait.

🐬 “New Dolphin” Yard Signs
Keep your sign year-round to show your Dolphin pride, or email ogsgreenschools@gmail.com for pickup so it can be reused.
