Friendly Hills School Recycles
by Lauren, 13, of Minnesota
Posted January 9, 2007
At Friendly Hills Middle School in Mendota Heights, the
teachers have begun a program for recycling bottles and cans. If you turn in one
bottle, you get a ticket and you put your name on it and put it in a
bucket. All 5-8th graders want to recycle, but it cost money. We
started to do this program on the 5th or 6th of January. It's fun.
Everyone likes it, but it is hard. I say that because you have
to spend so much money even buying a lunch. If you buy a lunch, it cost
about $3 plus a Gatorade (the bottle) equals over $4!!
That's a lot!! So you see what I mean? It's a lot of fun but hard work.
Right now we (the entire school) have filled two big cans of
bottles! That happened in the first two days! Today was day three and on
the 8th will be day four! How exciting is that? Everyone says they are
thrilled, but we need to have more and the cafeteria I personally think
is running out!
Everything is going good so far. Every week there is a drawing
and if you get picked (this is out of the whole school so its like
1/1000) you get a gift bag. If you are lucky and pick the right bag, you
get $15 worth of iTunes! But they only draw four names out of
the entire school, so you have a small chance. But if you recycle enough, you
just might win. You also have to have luck!
