Georgetown Jr/Sr High School Students Make Practical Application of Classroom Lessons

Perianne Germann , Georgetown


The importance of recycling continues to grow at Georgetown Jr.-Sr. High School. Members of the Learn and Serve Ohio, the “Achievers,” are working to improve their recycling program. Working with FFA students, several projects are programmed to improve the current recycling program.

FFA and Learn and Serve Ohio students are also collaborating on several environments projects that are tied to the Achievers volunteer efforts with community organizations. The Achievers, as part of Learn and Serve Ohio, have the opportunity to learn and develop by actively applying their classroom instruction when volunteering at various sites in the Georgetown community.

One project recently completed by the FFA is the container for temporary holding site for the recyclable materials. Pictured, from left to right are several members of the FFA and the Learn and Serve “Achievers;” Devin Royalty, Darren Houston, J.K. Schadle and Adam Holland. Adam is also the FFA President.

Again this year, seventh grade students are assuming responsibility for the weekly pick-up of paper and can (aluminum and plastics) recyclables. Seventh grade volunteers will work on a rotational basis, normally once a week during study lab. The “Achievers” retain “host responsibility” for the seventh graders efforts.
