The students collect about 600 to 800 pounds of recyclable materials a month. The program is integrated throughout the curriculum, throughout the year. We try to do projects that are seasonal as well as other projects. We started about four years ago and have done different projects. Another project that has been successful is the Eagle Info newspaper for students.
Students do the reporting, writing and picture taking.
They create ads and then put the paper together. Brittany Bowman, a daughter of Bob and Pam Bowman, is a seventh-grader who edits the paper this year. She said working on the paper has given her a chance to talk to people at the school that she wouldn't normally talk to. She said it is fun to do the interviews and she also types up what other students report. Another student involved in the program is Johnathan Baker, a son of Joe and Theresa Baker.
