Students got a treat if they wore: the most recycled clothes (hand-me- downs), the largest number of green items, had a litterless lunch, or wore the largest number of "recycle" symbols (using ONLY recycled paper and no tape!). Contests were also held for the best day stories, poems, and pictures. We had a great Green Day!
