Expedition Academy students celebrated their national winning recycling competition honor recently by inviting members of the community to join them, their principal, teachers, and fellow classmates for a celebratory outdoor barbeque. Over 100 schools competed in the first-ever Great American Can Roundup (GACR) School Challenge, a
national competition sponsored by the Can Manufacturers Institute (CMI). CMI awarded $1,000 to the top recycling school in each state and an additional $5,000 to the top school nationally. Green River Mayor Hank Castillon says, “I am delighted in the winning achievements of these outstanding students and their willingness to work together in collecting as many cans as they possibly could.” Students at Expedition Academy collected and recycled 1,753 pounds of cans which turned out to be a recycling
rate of 29.21 pounds (approximately 1,000 cans) per student, securing themselves as not only the $1,000 state prize winner, but also the national spot which awarded the school an additional $5,000 in prize earnings.
