FIVE SCHOOLS COMPLETE ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECTS

Five Roanoke public schools have successfully completed Environmental Awareness Grants Program projects.

The schools developed environmental-awareness objectives and implemented staff and student activities to carry them out. Examples of the activities include separation of recyclable trash, adoption of a cleanup area in a public park, implemenation of an environmental-awareness study unit, development of home energy audits by pupils and planting trees and flowers on school grounds.

Each school selected for the program received $3 per pupil to be used for instructional materials and supplies. The grant money came in part from proceeds of the schools' paper-recycling program.

The grants provided to each school were: Garden City Elementary, $873; Monterey Elementary, $1,392; Raleigh Court Elementary, $1,077; Addison Middle, $1,065; and Woodrow Wilson Middle, $1,260.
