The students in Prepare were studying the ocean.  While studying this topic, ways to protect the ocean were discussed. They realized that so much pollution in the ocean is simply trash.  The students wanted to help and recycling was their answer. A school uses so much paper and plastic, they decided it was time to step up and do their part to help.  Every Wednesday, they will collect paper and plastic from every room in the school. It will then be taken to the recycling center in Collinsville. This is a wonderful project that helps our community and brings awareness to the students!
