The second graders in Mrs. Cahill's class have decided to ring in the New Year by going green!
Their first green project was to set up a recycling center within their classroom to recycle paper. Each week a different student in the class has the job as the "Paper Police". It is their job to make sure everyone is recycling. They take their job very seriously and even remind other students to recycle.
They have also signed up with www.terracycle.net to recycle Capri Sun Juice pouches and Elmer's glue. For each item that is recycled, $0.02 will be donated to Marion G. Vedder Elementary School in North Babylon. They reached out to their peers at school and encouraged them to recycle the items as well. The entire school has followed the example that has been set by these influential students and have been contributing to their recycling program. The response was wonderful and they will be sending their first box next week!
The students are very excited to be part of the Green Team and look forward to a greener 2010!
