GRAFTON – Grafton Junior Troop 65070 completed a Take Action Project this fall working with North Street and Millbury Street elementary schools.
The troop had noticed that during recess, the students were not doing a great job throwing out their trash; part of the problem had to do with the availability of trash cans on the playground.
The troop created a presentation and met with Millbury Street Principal Joanne Stocklin and North Street Principal Stephen Wiltshire to discuss the problem and possible solutions. The troop proposed to donate a new trash can to each of the schools, using a portion of troop funds raised through cookie sales.
The troop presented at an all-school assembly, during lunch periods, and created a poster campaign to educate their peers on throwing out their trash and using the new trash cans.
