A tin can gets repurposed as an ornament and is sold for $1. Proceeds to help build Magill's Outdoor Classroom.
Magill Elementary recently held a Recycled Ornament Fundraiser. Students in grades K-5 at the Gwinnett County School used their artistic talent and imagination to transform an everyday household item into a decorative holiday creation. On Dec. 17 and 18, the ornaments were displayed and on sale for $1 each in the school front lobby.
The proceeds will go to the Environmental Science Club to help create an outdoor classroom at the school. All classes including the Science Club will be able to use the outdoor space for special class projects.
Principal Crystal Collins is new to Magill this year. "I wanted to bring recycling to our school," Collins explains"
The ornament program is part of the recycling efforts that begun at Magill this year when Collins became principal. For more information about the program or to donate to the Magill’s outdoor classroom, contact Crystal_Collins@Gwinnett.k12.ga.us or call 770-554-1030.
This is all part of an initiative at Magill,” explains Crystal Collins, Principal. “In today’s video game generation, it takes a lot to hold children’s attention. So, our focus is on active, hands-on engaging lessons like making recycled ornaments.”
