6th District Schools Winning Environmental Recognition!
Robinson and Whittier received a special award recognition in
Grades of Green's
7th Annual Trash Free Lunch Challenge
(TFLC). The competing schools spent the school year educating students about waste reduction and diverting as much lunchtime waste as possible -- and their efforts made a huge impact in creating a healthier world. In total, the 20 participating TFLC schools collectively diverted over
460 tons
of waste from entering local landfills.
Great news indeed!
