Here is a portion of an email from Tom Reynolds, Programs Coordinator for The Northwest Solid Waste District.
"Here is the list of compost results. Over 8 tons of food waste diverted from the landfill with an average of 3 pieces of non food waste per week.
If St. Albans City School had 500 meals per day or 2500 meals per week. I pick up compost containers once a week or 18 times for a total of roughly 45000 meals and the students and staff had only 59 pieces of contamination. The school would have achieved well over a 99% success rate with diverting only food waste in their compost program. Well the facts are in- St.Albans City Elementary School DID ! Add that to the schools ‘Job Well Done’ list."
News from 6th Grade Math
All 6th graders just completed a project based learning activity called "The Hand of a Giant". Students were given just the hand print of a giant. They had to determine the height of the giant just from this hand print. They were given no other information. They worked in cooperative groups and use the concept of proportional reasoning to find the giant's height.
