However, limited student awareness of maintaining cleanliness remains a concern that requires attention, including through educational media suited to elementary school students. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between educational poster media and students’ awareness of environmental cleanliness at SD Negeri 071067 Tuhemberua. A quantitative approach with a correlational method was employed, involving 21 fourth-grade students selected through purposive sampling.
