12. Environment Club
The Environment Club would like to recognize Alicia Day from Ms. Steen’s class. Alicia and her mom shopped around to purchase the forks for pasta Wednesdays. Each week the forks are collected and their family takes them home to wash them for the next week. They do this because they were sad about the waste created from the plastic disposable forks that came with the pasta in the beginning...there are about 140 kids that order pasta each week so that is a lot of forks that are now being diverted from the landfill. Thank you to Alicia and her mom for helping to reduce carbon footprints at Worsley! What can you do to do your part in protecting our Earth?
