Cooler Communities is a school grant program where students and teachers explore and work on projects that address climate change, energy use and conservation. These projects are showcased by students to the community through a fun and informative community event. The goal of Cooler Communities is to bring awareness around these topics that can lead to measurable results and benefits for the students, their communities and the earth.

Framingham Public Schools Department of Community Resource Development will be holding our 4th annual Cooler Communities Fair! Please see event information below:

Framingham Public Schools (FPS), in collaboration with the Cooler Communities Program and the City of Framingham is inviting all residents to Framingham’s fourth Cooler Communities Fair on Saturday, May 31, 2025 from 10am to 12pm at Fuller Middle School!

FPS students will again show their amazing projects on climate change, energy efficiency, and related subjects, and Framingham’ sustainability committee will have lots of information for parents and community members on how to save on energy bills and live in more climate-friendly ways.

UPDATE:

The tour will likely be cancelled due to the anticipated rain. However, Mass Energize will be tabling inside of the Fuller building with the rest of the vendors and student projects. Looking forward to seeing you all there!
