Our first graders had an unforgettable adventure visiting the Faherty Recycling Center and Smith Park! Can you believe the entire group weighed over 6,000 pounds? At the recycling center, students watched a dump truck unload materials, saw cardboard being baled, and even witnessed a ball get popped! They learned about what can be recycled and were amazed to discover that recycled materials can become jeans, decking, carpet, and even countertops. After the tour, the fun continued with lots of playtime at Smith Park. What a fun day of learning and laughter! #fes #EaglesSoar
