Belle Plaine, KS Grades 3-5

My 4th grade science classes want to take care of planet Earth by recycling,reusing, and reducing the amount of trash going to landfills.

Our 4th grade is in charge of collecting recycle materials from our elementary school but we need trash containers and a compost bin to do a better job.

With 25 recycle trash cans and a compost bin we can efficiently deal with the volume of recycle materials we collect from our building.

You will make it possible for my students to know that the future of our planet is in their hands.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
