After Week 1 of Recycling

   





      Chadron Primary School is serious about recycling materials during what is being called the "Recycling Bowl."  Jackie Daily and Susan Hucke from Keep Chadron Beautiful gave a presentation on October 17 to talk to our students about what materials that can be recycled during the competition between the schools in our district which started October 20 and ends November 14.
     Chadron Primary is currently leading after one week of competition. At this time, our schools have collected 571 pounds of recyclables.
     Keep on recycling!
