The Student Council will soon be launching a service project to build a “Buddy Bench” out of recycled bottle caps for our elementary playground. To get the project underway, the Student Council is collecting empty 3-gallon or 5-gallon plastic water jugs for each 6th-12th grade homeroom to use to collect bottle caps that will be recycled and used to build a sturdy playground bench. There will be a contest among the homerooms to encourage participation. Eight 3-gallon or 5-gallon water dispenser bottles are needed.
The water bottles could be provided on a loan basis until June and then could be returned to their owners, according to faculty member Dave Genter, who is the Student Council Advisor. Mr. Genter said the goal will be to collect 400 pounds of plastic bottle caps to build one bench. Water jugs can be dropped off in the school office. For any questions, please contact Mr. Genter at dgenter@acseht.org.
