TESTIMONIALS • “Our school does an excellent job recycling and this competition really gets the students excited about how much they can accomplish.” • Deanna Walker, Teacher, Charles L. Spragg Elementary School—Egg Harbor City, NJ • “We used to hold a grade vs. grade ‘friendly competition’ between 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. This year, with Recycle-Bowl, we're doing the competition as ONE team which is pretty cool. The kids are pumped! We did a kick-off assembly for 3rd to 5th grades this morning to get ready for Monday!” • Ted Wells, Teacher, The Park School—Brookline, MA • “Over the past 3+ years, our kids have been instrumental in improving recycling implementation at our school, and have helped our school participate in America Recycles Day (this will be our 4th year) and the Recycle Bowl Competition (this will be our 3rd year). We will use our Recycle Bowl Competition experience this year to concentrate on recycling generated within our school...recycling right!” • Rebecca Luman, Parent Advisor (PTO), Briargrove Elementary School—Houston, TX
