Last week we had a green day at school to celebrate our drama this year, which is about recycling. We organized the green day as a fundraiser for the drama as well as to promote recycling and taking care of the environment. We sold flowers and plants to the students, had a delicious Chinese buffet for lunch, and sold other snacks and green colored food to the students. My contribution was to designate certain trash cans as recycling cans and guard them with my life to make sure that no one dumped their ice cream into it! :) I also had nice environmentally friendly and recycling washable tatoos which I passed out to the students, who were thrilled to have them on their faces; however, the supervisor soon spoiled our fun when she made the students wash them all off before the first period was even finished. Sad.
We've also teamed up with a German company who is working to lauch the first recycling campaign in Bahrain, which we desperately need! In fact, we just had four large recycling containers delivered to our school this morning, the second location for the containers on the whole island. I'm super pumped about this whole campaign. I've created recycling bins for my classroom and am giving extra credit to every student who returns a canvas bag filled with recyclable goods. GO GREEN!
