WESCOSVILLE GOES GREEN

Listen up Wescosville...We are going green!!  This year the Wescosville community is trying to make the world a better place, one school year at a time.  This year we want to concentrate on energy usage and recycling.  Our fifth graders have formed an energy patrol team.  They periodically go around the school to monitor energy waste and conservation.  The students check for lights, proximas and monitores to be turned off so that we are saving energy.  The next step in our process will be for the waste to be reduced by doing more recycling.  Don't forget to think green in your home.  Make sure to turn off the lights when no one is in the room and be aware of your computer moniors.  Parent volunteers are welcome to join our school committee.  Email Mrs. Evans if interested evanslis@eastpennsd.org.

 Trashion Show

The Trashion Show is a judged trashion-fashion competition which will be held on Wednesday, October 21st.  Gifted students from Wescosville and Alburtis in grades 1 - 5 designed and created their own original garments out of 80% post-consumer content materials.  Students will strut down our "green" catwalk in front of our panel of judges.  Mr. Moyer, Mrs. Free, and Dr. Renaldi will determine a first, second and third place winner.  Our trashion show message is one of planet conservation and stewardship, while highlighting the notion that one person's rubbish is another's fashion masterpiece.  Students from both schools will come together to show off their ingenuity and imagination in the form of this unique trashion-fashion show.  Online voiting will follow the show.  Students and their families will have an opportunity to vote for best craftsmanship, best use of recycled plastic, best use of recycled objects, best green trashion design, and most fun to look at.
