Another recycling post for Wednesday the 22nd! Today we focused on collecting recycling from classrooms that are not in a specific hallway and as well as all the classrooms on the top floor, English and Science hallways plus the media center, art rooms, and robotics rooms. We had a great team again this week with the same few kids helping every week! We are really working it down to a science! This week we had club members Sidney, Wilton, Hailey, and myself, as well as volunteers Mallory and Julio.

After our last load of recyclables! 

Another successful round of recycling on Wednesday! We had a slightly larger turnout with help from club members Wilton, Anna, Sidney, Hailey, Devon, and myself! Plus extra help from volunteers Josh, Mallory, Nicole, and Julio!

We are learning more about or schools habits of recycling each week. For the most part our students do a pretty good job, with some odd cases like a ham sandwich in the plastics bin... Its awesome however to see the recycling in our classrooms and hallways empty, and ready to be refilled after Wednesday Recycling!

Starting off the year with a small bang today! Club members Wilton, Sara, and Sidney plus volunteer Mallory worked together at 8 am to do the first round of recycling for our new recycling program! We collected and sorted through all of the materials from the science and english hallways as well as collected the bins from the upstairs art rooms, the media center, and the counseling office.
