Other green initiatives in the school include recycling paper and upcycling drink pouches. The pouches are collected and shipped to a company called Terracycle that converts them to tote bags, pencil cases, lunch boxes and book bags. More than 3,500 pouches have been collected since the program started during summer camp in July.  “We’re a Juice Pouch Brigade,” said Jarrell. The school gets 2 cents for every juice pouch sent in. Money collected is put back into green programs for the school. “More importantly, our students are learning how to recycle and making an impact on the environment.”
