Great River School

Great River School

Over 100 Great River Senior High students in Physical Science and Theatre classes learned about and researched waste reduction issues and then created four lesson plans for elementary and junior high classrooms. Another 20 theatre students used the lesson plans to write a play script called "Tales from the Landfill" that was performed and recorded at four neighboring schools with over 50% of the audience committing to working on a waste reduction program in their school and wore "Caught Recycling" or "Caught Reducing" buttons. The lesson plans, DVD of the play and 600 Rethink Recycling bags were also shared with ten schools to help them continue learning about waste reduction after the performance.
