Mattahunt Team Learns about the Importance of Recycling

The Mattahunt America SCORES Team is working hard to make their school more environmentally responsible.  

When Mattahunt students learned that their school no longer recycles, they decided to take action.  

Students researched recycling online to get ideas about what advertisements would be best for their school.  They then created their own messages about why it is important to recycle and how people can limit the amount of waste they produce.

Researching

The team will post recycling advertisements all over the school and work to raise support for a new school wide recycling program.

Stop Think Recycle

Proud Artist

The Mattahunt team was lucky enough to get Ms. Donere Johnson, the North East Regional Director for Student Conservation Association, to speak to them about the importance of recycling.  Ms Johnson works with students to implement conservation programs in their communities.
