Recycling Team
Middle and high school students gather every Tuesday during community time to collect classroom bins and receptacles for recycled items such as paper, cans, and plastic bottles. One time per month the team checks classroom bins to ensure there are intact and that signage and posters are updated. The following participation sheet is from the 2017-2018 school year. Most of the students are in the middle school, although a few high school students participate.
Environmentally Sound Art
Students in arts classes (thanks to Ms. Columbus and Ms. Stiver) created sculptures out of recycled materials in the 2017-2018 school year. Students brought in their own newspapers and cardboard materials to recycle into art sculptures.
Turning Recycling Into School Beautification
Students brought in old magazines to turn into art to beautify the school hallways. Thank you to the direction of Ms. Stiver!
Recycling of Clothing
In the spring of 2016, students in Ms. Akintilo's recycling club requested a Planet Aid bin for the school so they could recycle clothing and shoes. The recycling box was delivered in April of 2016. Since then, students have recycled more than 20 bags of clothing and shoes!
