Madison’s Country School eliminates plastics
Madison’s Country School eliminates plastics
Many towns and countries are already being proactive with efforts to ban single use plastic bags, mylar balloons, and plastic straws, and Madison’s Chamber of Commerce is embarking on “Turn the Tide on Plastic,” a similar campaign.. Country School 6th Graders will partner with the Chamber of Commerce to craft a scarecrow out of discarded plastic bags, bottles, and straws for their annual contest.
The Class of 2019 has also expressed an interest in reducing plastic waste, suggesting to eliminate plastic water bottles by obtaining water dispensers at school. PreSchool through 8th-grade students will - with community support - create art that reflects this theme. Louise Jackson, Country School math teacher and STEAM Coordinator expresses her enthusiasm for the project.
Founded in 1955, The Country School serves over 200 students in PreSchool-Grade 8 on its 23-acre campus in Madison. The Country School is committed to active, hands-on learning and a vigorous curriculum that engages the whole child. Signature programs such as Elmore Leadership, Public Speaking, STEAM, and Outdoor Education help prepare students for success in high school and beyond.
The school will hold a Fall Open House on October 28 from 1-3:30 p.m. Interested residents can schedule a tour on Take a Look Tuesdays. Learn more at www.thecountryschool.org .
