Awards and special recognition
HOWARD COUNTY RECYCLING COLORING BOOK COMPETITION
During the fall of 2013, grade 4 and 5 Green Team students created and submitted Howard County Recycling Coloring Book pages. They did this because Howard County is concerned with reducing, reusing and recycling. The coloring pages, available from the Howard County Recycling Center, get kids thrilled about recycling and make it more entertaining. The reason our Green Team submitted artwork is because we want to get little kids into recycling through coloring.
The Bollman Bridge winners of the contest are 4th grader, Olivia Davis, and 5th grader, Neha. Rehman The earned framed certificates, and their work is featured in the 2014 version of the Howard County Recycling Coloring Book. -Alexis, 5th grade 30 fourth and fifth graders at BBES competed in this contest. The awards are made of recycled computer circuit boards! |

Can we get recycling started in my home?
In the spring of 2013, a BBES 4th grader, Neha, was concerned that her apartment complex did not have recycling available to its community. She wrote a letter to the superintendent of her apartment complex with suggestions and thoughts about the importance of recycling. She received a thoughtful letter in return, stating that her community complex will begin a recycling program in 2014. |
VIDEO ABOUT PARAGUAY RECYCLING
In November of 2014, one of our staff members saw an astounding video of students in an extremely poor community using trash to make recycled instruments. The students created an impressive orchestra.
This was such a moving piece ("Landfill Harmonic") that we decided to show it to our entire Bollman Bridge community in homerooms. We hoped to inspire both unity in the theme of reusing, and creativity around how we might reuse in our own community. The students from kindergarten to fifth grade found inspiration in the piece. |
