Description: Sara Collins Elementary School started recycling with third graders picking up the recycling boxes outside each classroom once a week. The fifth graders then roll them downstairs where they need to be picked up. Cafeteria also started recycling the cans they use. For an end of the year reflection, students made books out of recycled boxes and wrote what they learned about recycling.
