DEXTER: Students take charge of Earth Day with day-long celebration
TerraCycle Capri Sun (Kraft) Include USA
Hill's students, who are part of an elective "Go Green" classroom also broadcasted newscasts and gave presentations about ways to help keep the environment healthy - an ongoing theme in many corners of the Dexter school district.
"All of our schools recycle and celebrate Earth Day every day," Hill said. "My classes have been recycling for years. This year we added plastic containers and Capri Sun containers. We belong to the TerraCycle program."
Hill's students have also conducted clean-up efforts at various district school grounds removing and recycling plastic, paper, cardboard and aluminum cans wherever they could be found. The students have also installed bins to recycle fruit and vegetable refuse and collected 400 coats, mittens and hats for families in need.
