Going Green

I am excited to announce that very soon Dodgen MS students and staff will participate in another venture that will benefit our environment.  We have entered into an agreement with the Cobb school system to pilot a program that is desgined to recycle the Styrofoam lunch trays used each day by 1,250 students and staff.  This is something that our Enviromental Club has been interested in pursuing for some time.  Maybe the program will soon grow to include other schools.  Our staff and students are already very conscious of protecting the environment.  Joyce Kemper is pictured with two full bags of aluminum cans.  She collects cans at the school on a regular basis to take to the Good Mews animal shelter to help both the enviroment and animals.  Also pictured are Mary Barkley and Kyle Schnitger.  Notice the mound of pizza boxes behind them from a recent school event.  They arranged to have all of the boxes recycled rather than simply throw them out to take up space in a landfill.
