ST. PIUS X | GRADE 3

WASTE REDUCTION & CLEAN-UP

First, we did a schoolyard cleanup. We discussed all the items we found and made plans to put out more garbage cans to reduce the litter. Following that we made posters to hang up around the school reminding students and staff about the three r’s. We talked about in our class how we can reduce the amount of waste. We thought we could make art projects out of recyclable materials, use paper multiple times, bring water bottles, and use metal and containers instead of plastic baggies. We will continue with the project for the remainder of the year as it creates of sense of ownership and accountability to students.
