Easton Elementary School is continuing their recycling efforts this year. Focusing on Citizenship with this project, students collect plastic bottles from breakfast and lunch under the supervision of Mrs. Linda DePrima, the school volunteer coordinator. Since the beginning of the school year (August 24) to November 18 a total of 31,851 bottles have been recycled. Neither the students nor the school receive prizes or money for their efforts. They share the pride in protecting the environment.

CHARACTER COUNTS! Mid Shore and Easton Elementary recently introduced their “CHARACTER COUNTS! Literacy Corner” in the Media Center. Character-based books and a computer for parents to use make the corner a cozy spot for students and their parents. This pilot project is funded in part by Verizon Foundation.
