GB Wins First Place

Greenbriar has once again received the 1st place award from the Yellow Pages and Recycling Coalition. We will be recognized at the City County Council meeting on Feb. 24th at 7:00pm! Congratulations to Mrs. Robbins and her students, and all who helped us to reach this goal!

In October, November, and December Greenbriar students, families, and staff participated in a phone book collection project that resulted in a collection total weighing 7.52  tons. The project was organized by the AT&T Recycling initiative, and of all the schools participating, Greenbriar came in first!

 “I think the wonderful part of this project is the kids’ focus on saving trees,” said Kathy Robbins, sponsoring teacher at Greenbriar Elementary, and also Teacher of the Year for Washington Township. “The phone books are collected and made into pens, rulers, insulation, and even kitty litter.  It was wonderful to watch even the very youngest students in our school, come in daily dragging any phone book they could find.  They showed real commitment!”

 For their efforts, Greenbriar Elementary School  will enjoy a first place cash prize to be used to help with our gardens , plus a school assembly to celebrate all their hard work!

 This project is an example of student IB action at Greenbriar
