We've got another entry for the September Scholar's Club Eco-Challenge! 🌍🎉 Shoutout to Bellows Spring Elementary's 𝘼-𝙈𝘼𝙕𝙄𝙉𝙂, 𝘼𝙒𝙀-𝙄𝙉𝙎𝙋𝙄𝙍𝙄𝙉𝙂, 𝙪𝙣𝙖𝙗𝙖𝙨𝙝𝙚𝙙𝙡𝙮 𝘼𝙒𝙀𝙎𝙊𝙈𝙀 𝙋𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙚𝙧𝙨!🎉🌍 We've got another entry for the September Scholar's Club Eco-Challenge! These 4th and 5th graders from Ellicott City, MD, are true environmental heroes. Not only do they care for baby terrapins and rainbow trout before their release, but they’ve also taken on year-round clean-up challenges, inspired by an Earth Day event. They’ve collected an average of 43 pounds of trash per trip, keeping their campus and local streams clean! ♻️🌿 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹!

Keep up the amazing work! 🌱

Woohoo! 🎉👍🎉 Rockaway Valley School has taken on our September Eco-Challenge Photo Contest in a BIG way. We received this submission from the RVS Environmental Club showing how they are leading the school in recycling plastic candy wrappers for Halloween and Little Bite pouches all year round. These items are not normally recyclable, but thanks to the TerraCycle programs, the old plastics are sorted, cleaned, and turned into new products! Great job Rockaway Valley!♻️💚♻️💙😀♻️ The Federation Humana People to People Humana People to People India Fundación Humana Pueblo a Pueblo-Ecuador Humana Brasil Humana People to People in South Africa ADPP GUINÉ-BISSAU
