BELOIT — Apple cores and banana peels had a special use following a recent snack time for Our Lady of the Assumption School (OLA) first graders.
Students recycled the organic materials by putting them into a worm bin. It was part of the first grade curriculum unit about soil, recycling, and composting.
OLA first grade teacher Cynthia Welte said, “I really enjoy environmental science so I felt this project would be perfect.”
