STRATEGIC PLANNING 2003 - PUBLIC OUTREACH — CLASSROOM RECYCLING
• PROJECT
•
In response to a Strategic Planning 2003 Workshop goal under Public Outreach, Director
Worthington presented suggestions for District sponsorship of a School classroom project.
Such a presentation could begin with a viewing of the CMSD video educating the students
on the many services provided by the District and followed with some type of inter - active
demonstration, such as displaying a plastic bag containing 50 recyclable items and 50
items that are not recyclable. The students decide which are recyclable and which are
not. This could be followed by a 15- minute question and answer period.
Another suggestion is to hire a professional person who puts on programs at schools
addressing recycling issues.
Director Worthington also proposed the idea of the District purchasing a shell -like trailer
that would accommodate 25 -30 students where recycling exhibits could be displayed and
a teacher or District representative could hold an instruction period on recycling. The
District could loan or rent to other agencies.
Director Perry suggested a grade school level and project be selected to involve schools
in a recycling project.
Mr. Flamers suggested looking into the cost of such a trailer.
