The school earned the playground after winning the TerraCycle Recycled Playground Challenge earlier this year. Flanders joined schools from across the state and throughout New York, New Jersey, Penn., Delaware, and Maryland, who were participating in the Colgate Oral Care Brigade, a free recycling program offered by Colgate and TerraCycle. All schools participating in the program were eligible to compete for the new playground, and Flanders took first place in the contest by collecting oral care products and casting online votes - tallying up a total of 240,436 "playground credits."
