Obama Children Go to (Green) School

Last week in Washington, while their President-elect dad announced his Cabinet nominees and promoted a plan for stimulating the economy, soon-to-be ‘first daughters’ Sasha, 7, and Malia Obama, 10, were busy attending their new school. The girls are enrolled in the Sidwell Friends School, a private Quaker school where environmental stewardship is a core value. School officials demonstrated their commitment to this value in the 2006 expansion and renovation of the Sidwell Friends Middle School that Malia Obama attends. This building received the US Green Building Council’s highest rating for environmental sustainability––the platinum level of the popular Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™.
