Lou Gehrig Middle School

Recyling Contest at the Lou Gehrig Middle School

 

 

Action Environmental Group challenged four classes at the Lou Gehrig Middle School, IS 151 to develop innovative ways to teach other students and their community the value of recycling. The students created their own recycling “green machine”, a presentation to educate parents at parent teacher night, composed a song about recycling and even designated themselves to handle all recycling issues at the school.   Nicole Simon, ranked No.1 in her eight grade class, created the winning idea; a bake sale where recyclables were used as currency to purchase baked goods. Nicole won the contest for her class by designing this innovative recycling currency.

 

On September 18th, Action is taking 80 students to the Yankee Game where CEO Ron Bergamini, Principle Rivera and Nicole Simon will be apart of the opening ceremony.
