RECYCLING IN THE CLASSROOM
“Reduce Reuse Recycle” is not just a slogan at
BCDS, it is a way of life. Teachers were the original recyclers and we are
carrying on the tradition.
We reuse many household items
for crafts, glue pots, paint containers, science experiments, student
inventions and many, many other exciting activities. Thanks to our parent
donations, we keep our shelves stocked with necessary goodies. How can you
help? Here is a list of our regularly needed items.
All
we ask is that you clean and dry the items before bringing them in.
Broken or no longer needed mechanical items (telephones, tape players, VHS
players, DVD, etc.)
