Raton GWEers present at their local Rotary Club!!!
Raton’s GWE students presented their project proposal for putting recycling bins at Raton Intermediate School to their local Rotary Club on May 7th! The students, who had met with the school principal earlier about the idea and made a field trip to Raton’s recycling center, decided on a plan to recycle plastics 1 and 2 starting next school year. They told Rotary members they plan to use four recycling bins and two sorting bins, estimated to cost a total of about two hundred dollars.
