Crayon Recycling
Members of the BHS Green Club took all of the broken crayons from our writing utensil collection, melted them down and made new crayons.
Though this was not an easy task, this great group of students chose to donate the newly created crayons to the Kindergarten classrooms!
Way to Go Rose, Livia, and Fiona!
