Photo by Cherl Crews RAPPAHANNOCK RECYCLERS: Students at Rappahannock County Elementary School are learning just how valuable “used" stuff can be. Through the efforts of local parent Cherl Crews, their recycling efforts are paying off big time.
homeroom at the school! Cherl has discovered in a huge way, that the more exposure the recycling program gets, the more the community supports the school; which equates to making a better life for the kids.
Because they are doing so well with the Cartridges for Kids® program, the PTO has been able to provide things that fall outside the normal school budget. For example: they have bought a kiln to make ceramics that both the elementary and high school share, and they have bought much needed sheet music for the band. Cherl credits the teachers with being very involved and the kids for being totally enthusiastic about recycling. They set a goal for themselves to collect 1,000,000 tab tops to benefit the Ronald McDonald House, which they have just completed. It took them 2 Vi years. That’s quite a commitment for elementary school children. We feel these children are remarkable, as is the community for the vital support they provide!
Local Rappahannock resident Cherl Crews and active PTO niom was the “Featured Recycler” for March on the Cartridges for Kids website www.cartridgesforkids.com
