Thanks GREEN TEAM!
Big thanks go to the 4th grade “Green Team” for all of their hard work on recycling this year. They did an incredible job collecting and putting out the recycling for the entire school every week of the school year! We would never be able to recycle all that we do if it wasn’t for our dedicated Green Team members – GREAT JOB!
EverGreen School Award for BFES
Birmingham Falls has been awarded an EverGreen School Award for 2011-12 for setting and achieving its environmental goals for the year. BFES’s goals included the 1st grade vegetable gardens project, assisting in the planning of the school’s outdoor classroom, continuation of the school’s recycling program, the 4th grade Green Team Club, placement of the Better World Books drop box, and Earth Day and America Recycles Day awareness. Look for the EverGreen School Award sign that will be posted in front of the school. Way to “Go Green” BFES!
Book Drop Box
Please drop off your old and used books in the green Better World Books drop box in front of the school. The books will be resold or recycled and BFES will get a portion of the sale proceeds. The box will remain throughout the summer and next school year. So get rid of those old books and make money for the school at the same time.
