OHS BEGINS RECYCLING CAMPAIGN  

Students and staff at Oakcrest High School recently began a school-wide recycling program. The school’s Science Club is spearheading the program. The members of the group recently posted signs in all classrooms and areas directing individuals to dispose of trash in the appropriate bin. New paper recycling receptacles were also placed in all classrooms and other areas of the building.

The school is doing its best to recycle all newspapers, white and color paper, magazines, bags, and cardboard in addition to glass and plastic bottles and jars among, others.

All staff is helping in this endeavor by monitoring students and their own commitment to the program. Falcon TV, the school’s morning television show, has also been airing videos reminding the school community to do their part in the recycling program.

So far, the response has been favorable by everyone involved. “Many of us assume that others are responsible for something as simple as recycling,”commented one staff member. “It’s great that we are setting an example by getting involved directly with environmental issues. It’s the least we can do!”
