Fourth Grade Stewards Recognized

Fourth Graders in Lindsay's and Damaris's class made and sold silk-screened cards and bags with an eco-message. The funds raised were donated  to the Gowanus Canal Conservancy.   

Lindsay:  "A group of four students created a design.  We then ordered two silk screens with that desgin, one to make t-shirts and canvas bags and a small one to make postcards.  They printed t-shirts for the class (with shirts kids brought in) and bags and postcards to sell at our Stewardship Share."

Not hard to imagine that these kids will make a difference.

First:  Empty liquids through strainer into bucket.

Second Step:  Place cartons, metal, glass and hard plastic in container.

                                                                               And last...

Untouched food or utensils?  Place in sharing bowl.

Too amazing not to include:  Chopstick lessons are ongoing in the second lunch period.

Lunchtime Recycling: We Got Mail

 From a Third Grade Parent:

As a parent, I have to add that my third grader has loved being on the recycling team...She has been waiting for it to be her turn and it happened last week, and her level of excitement about this lunch and recess job is amazing to me.  Thank you Alex and everyone else (who) helps support this.  It has been inspiring for her and the rest of our family. :  )

Recycling Renewal at BNS

Step by Step Recycling Systems are Back

Step 1:

Fifth Grade Green Club readied the blue (glass, plastic, and metal) receptacles. These were added to classrooms and offices.  The green (paper) and black (trash) containers were already in place.

Step 2:  Ask Staff to empty their blue and green containers in the central recycling center on their floor at the end of each day.  (Third Graders take paper mid-day.)

Pre-K students at 2:15!  They got the memo.

Step 3:  Revamp the Rapelye Street Recycling Pick Up Area.
