Trash Free Tuesday

The students at Steward School celebrated "America Recycles Day" by participating in "Trash Free Tuesday," which was coordinated by Zillie Bhuju and members of our G.R.E.E.N Committee and our Y.E.S.S (Young Earth Savers at Steward) Committee, consisting of third grade student council members.  Students from Y.E.S.S put lids on each garbage can to force people to "Ask Before You Trash" and families helped by sending in snacks and lunches that were in earth friendly containers.  Each classroom that was able to throw less than ten items in the trash ALL DAY received a green star.  We did an amazing job and we thank the GREEN Committee and our Young Earth Savers for reminding us about the importance of respecting and taking care of our precious planet.

Tuesday Night Trash


These lids went on each garbage can to remind us to Ask Before You Trash! 


We also threw in an enrichment challenge in grade 3 to create things from recycled materials!

These are all of the trays we collected!
