The Frank K. Hehnly Elementary School Recycling Crusaders consist of 35 fifth grade students. The Crusader advisors are second grade teacher, AnnMarie Estevez, and computer teacher, Diane Rizzo. The students encourage the entire school to use the recycling bins outside of the classrooms. They meet twice a week to go through the bins to clean, box up, and mail various items for recycling: drink pouches, recycled cell phones and ink cartridges are sent to Terracycle; bottle caps are sent to Aveda; soda tabs are sent to the Ronald McDonald House. The students also have a recycling question of the week. The whole school is involved and has a chance to answer the question. On Friday three students are picked and win a prize. The fifth graders have enjoyed working all year with the recycling program and making a difference in taking care of the Earth.
