 Connect your students to their roots with JNF’s Tu BiShvat in the Schools Program. Planting a tree in Israel is the way to celebrate Tu BiShvat. When your students participate in this program, they will be following in the traditions of their parents and grandparents. Students will receive a beautiful JNF Tree Certificate to remind them of the connection to the land and people of Israel that they share with their family.
Register for JNF’s Tu BiShvat in the Schools program to receive everything you will need to educate, engage, and energize your students to celebrate Tu BiShevat this year.

- Student Recognition: For every student that participates by planting at least one tree, JNF will recognize that student by planting a tree in their honor and they will receive a certificate.
NEW THIS YEAR! Students will receive prizes, at different levels, for planting multiple trees. Each student is encouraged to take action to help the environment and Israel during Tu BiShvat and trying to plant as many trees in Israel as possible.
- School Recognition: Schools that plant 100 or more trees (at the $1800, $2500, or $5000 levels) will receive permanent recognition at JNF’s American Independence Park in Jerusalem and a framed certificate for their school.
Request a special poster to help you track how many trees your school has planted and reach that goal of 100 or more!
You will receive your materials (newsletters, posters, and tree planting forms) in December. Distribute the tree order envelopes to students and parents. Orders can be collected by the school or mailed directly to JNF - it's your choice! Orders must be received by April 1st, and you will receive your certificates by Yom Ha'atzmaut. Encourage participation in the program by hosting a Tu BiShvat Seder, planting a tree in your school's backyard, and learning about ways to help the environment.
