We had an Idea

The end of last week and the weekend resulted in a new path for our group. We have decided that the weekly recycling pick ups was not going to be enough and so we thought. What else could we do? We came up with two great ideas. One of them is a paper drie held to collect newspaper for a another group. The other group wants to make newspaper plant pots but, they were in need of newspaper. That also helps our cause because they are recycling something unwanted into a life up helder. The paper drive will be held as well to collect any other paper discarded by our community. This will take place on May 5th between the hours of 1 and 4 pm.
We are very excited to see the turnout of our paper drive.

The second marvelous idea that took place last week was a contest. Each class in the elementary and possibly the middle school will make something out of completely recycled materials. The contestants’ products will be judged by Mrs. Fickle and our group. There will be a winner from each wing. The prize, you get to plant a tree on the school grounds. We think this is a great idea because it is fun, encouraging children to recycle, and very “green”. This still has to be OKed by Mr. Vriesinga and there will probably be some adjustments but as of right now we are confident.  Before the weekend we decided to make a video for the every two weeks of recycling pick up to explain to the younger kids about what we are doing and what we expect of them. That was accomplished over the weekend. We have shot and edited it and hope it can be displayed Tuesday of this week.
