Reporting Recycling Numbers

We are doing a great job recycling in Providence Public Schools so far this year! 

However, to be eligible for the $1000 prize, someone at each school must report recycling numbers each week for the weeks of October 15th through November 9th.  

Please report your numbers on the link above, or by clicking this link:

We want to keep the $1000 in Providence, and we need your help to do that! Plus, I'm sure your school could use the money!

Not Recycling?... What's your excuse?

There is no reason not to recycle in your classrooms, and here's an example of that:

Alvarez High School, and Mrs. Cappelli's Community Class has taken on the recycling challenge at their school.  Like most schools in Providence Public School District, they do not have enough bins for their classrooms, and don't have much excitement around recycling.  But here are a few ways that they are working to turn those things around, and work through their shortage of bins. 

These are bins that Mrs. Cappelli's class made, to make up for their shortage. I'd rather have one of these than a regular green plastic bin.  They taped plastic garbage bags inside cardboard boxes, so that the boxes would not get ruined.  When they ran out of 'Extra Recycling' stickers, they just photocopied one, and used paper copies instead.  

They also made signs to post around the school and in some classrooms. 

Thanks to Sarah Cappelli and her class at Alvarez for showing us how we can get people involved and make a difference without the resources we thought were necessary!
