TerraCycle Drink Pouch Brigade mention. The Ranger final

Two Chandler school take part in the Drink Pouch Brigade to earn money and win prizes for their school. SunTan Sun final

To get the certification, the school had to attain a certain score based on five criteria: culture and community, school sustainability, healthy schools, curriculum integration and innovation. Principal Elaine Justice said receiving the recognition is a testament to a school-wide effort. “This is not one person’s vision. This is the vision of multiple teachers and the students, parents and everyone working together,” she said. Justice said the school’s path toward “green” status began a number of years ago with the start of a recycling program by school counselor Bryan Smith, who retired last year. Recycling continued to grow; and teacher Shannon Byrd has watched students become more and more involved as the school has participated in a program with TerraCycle, a company that promotes environmental awareness and works with schools and others to eliminate waste. It collects packaging and materials that are difficult to recycle and repurposes the waste into products such as school supplies, flower pots and garden supplies and unique gifts. The students love seeing the juice pouch turned into a pencil pouch or using a notebook binder made from the materials they collected. “My favorite part of this is the student involvement,” she said. “They want the pencil pack or that notebook.”

HELPING HANDS The school is participating in the Drink Pouch Brigade, a free recycling program for individuals or groups from Capri Sun and TerraCycle. Through this program, students are cleaning up the environment and earning money for their school.

Honest Tea was a founding member of the Drink Pouch Brigade®, a program launched in 2007 with TerraCycle® to recycle and ‘upcycle’ drink pouches. The program has collected more than 182 million drink pouches.

Ronnow Elementary, Wolff Elementary, Adams All-Stars Elementary, Tarr Elementary, Thompson Elementary and Stuckey Elementary schools in Las Vegas participated in a nationwide recycling effort that recycled 200 million Capri Sun drink pouches. The schools collected drink pouches through TerraCycle’s Drink Pouch Brigade to help the environment and earn money for their schools.

To celebrate Capri-Sun and TerraCycle’s milestone of recycling 200 million drink pouches and donating $4 million to charities since 2008, Bible Center School has joined a “drink pouch brigade” and will collect pouches from the lunchroom and classroom.
