In order to promote and encourage recycling and
waste reduction in our district buildings and staff, classrooms compete
with each other for being the best recycler in the school. Winning
classrooms receive treats or prizes made from recycled materials.
Weekly
questions or puzzles focus on sustainable practices. Can you guess the
message behind this rebus puzzle (follow
the link)? Staff and students scoring the highest number of correct
answers for the rebus puzzles were given prizes at the end of last
school
year.
| Previous contest winners received
recycled cotton bags (right)
painted by a student artist or reusable lunch bags made from organic cotton
and tagged with valuable information (below). Click on the

Our district has a recycling fairy that travels
through the offices and classrooms after hours to make sure recycling
has not been placed in the garbage cans. Pink fairy tickets are
left for those recycling correctly – a gray garbage grump ticket is left
for those who don’t! Pink tickets are turned in at the end of the school
year for a drawing.
