Target 21 is different from the other FLoW21 Targets, because it is focused on the kind of people we, as a school community, want to be.

We want every member of our community to be ethical and passionate stewards of our planet and the people around us. It speaks to our school mission, to connect, inspire, challenge, and make a difference. We, as a school, aim to improve upon what we have been doing well for years.

With so many examples of how Target 21 is already in action at WAB, we have created a relatively short list of examples that highlight the positive contributions WAB students, parents, and staff have made to our environments and communities.
