Among the various initiatives that Miller Avenue School’s second grade student council members have been conducting since the beginning of the school year, including a toy drive, food drive, and a can and bottle recycling program, is their latest action – Crayola ColorCycle.

Hundreds of used crayons, markers, highlighters and dry-erase markers are filling a large collection box in the main hallway to be returned back to Crayola for recycling.

According to co-adviser Mr. Robert Korchma, the initiative encourages the students to remember the importance of their role in protecting the environment. The school joins hundreds of schools across the nation in exploring simple eco-friendly practices.
