Kearny School District -

In recognition of 🌎Global Recycling Day♻️, the Kearny High School SAVE club has created a display of ⭐580+ pounds ⭐of recyclable plastic bags and films that would have otherwise entered the landfills. ‼️Plastic bags and films cannot be recycled in town curb recycling programs and therefore, items like bread bags, vegetable bags, poly mailers, paper towel/toilet paper wrap, and water bottle casing, typically end up in the regular trash. ♻️The SAVE club has partnered with a company called NexTrex and entered their 1000 lb challenge. KHS has one year to collect 1,000 pounds of recyclable plastic bags and films and deliver them to NexTrex. If we succeed, we can win a bench made from recycled materials to display on school grounds. ⭐📣Our goal is over halfway met and we still need 450 pounds of plastics. Plastics can be dropped off in the white or green bins throughout the school.

Ms. Bespalko's PreK class concluded their camera study unit with a visit from a professional photographer - Garfield School's very own, Ariel Scarpa! Mrs. Scarpa showed the kids her camera, explained the parts and how it works, and even let the students use her camera to take a photo of a friend!
