The six new recycling bins have truly transformed our community at the International School at Gregory.\r\n\r\nMiddle schoolers from the Recycling Club have taken full ownership of this project. Every Wednesday and Friday, they proudly collect materials from each bin and help the custodians sort everything correctly. Their hard work and enthusiasm have made such an impact that we had to contact the county to have the recycling truck come twice a week because of all the recyclables being collected!\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the bins, they were thrilled! Their excitement quickly spread—teachers, kids, custodians, and even our principals love the bins! The colorful containers have become a daily reminder that when we work together, small actions can lead to big change.\r\n\r\nThis project beautifully supports our \"Gregory Grows Green\" initiative, inspiring everyone in the building to care for our planet. Our next steps include student-designed posters and digital campaigns to keep promoting recycling and sustainability across our school.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping us create a cleaner, greener environment where our students are growing into thoughtful, responsible global citizens.","fullyFundedDate":1759369864234,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-kids-to-recycle-and-protect-o/9703990/","projectTitle":"Empowering Kids to Recycle and Protect Our Planet","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Weimann","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8419176_orig.jpg?crop=900,900,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1650066394702","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8419176"},{"teacherId":8944378,"projectId":8436161,"letterContent":"The generous donation of 25 headphones has had a significant impact on my science immersion classroom at Gregory International School.
