Good Citizens and Inspiring Leaders

Students on our 7th grade Citizenship course have been exploring responsible and compassionate citizenship within the context of school, national and global issues. On the school level, students identified an area that they wanted to improve. Currently, the items placed in recycling bins at TCS are discarded rather than recycled. Inspired by the vision of Marilyn Waldrop, Marilyn and her teammates Emily Harrison and Stephanie Towle have initiated a TCS recycling program. They have committed to collecting the recycling weekly from each classroom. They will then place the items in their home recycling bins. The plan is simple, but the payoff is enormous not only in promoting good stewardship, but also in encouraging students to be positive change agents within their school.
