Maurice
Cody Public School has a proud tradition of caring for the environment.
The past two years we have been a Platinum EcoSchool member. Maurice
Cody has been a leader in such environmental initiatives as Walking
Wednesday, the establishment of an environmental garden, and the
Turn Off the Lights program.The success of our programs is due to
the teamwork of an environmentally aware school community, including
parents, caretakers, teachers, and students.
