Expedition Academy in Green River won second place in the national community category of the Recycle-Bowl. Principal John Poole says that each student recycled 422 pounds of miscellaneous recyclable materials from October 15th through November 9th.
The school won $750 for their efforts. This was the first nationwide recycling competition for elementary, middle and high school students that reached 900,000 students across America with schools in all 50 states and the District of Columbia competing.
Poole says the win was great, but the contest did something even greater. He says it motivated the students to believe in something bigger than themselves and hasv promoted an earth conscious mentality
