Transition Discovers It Pays to Go Green!

The students at Transition Maple Creek celebrated Earth Day by going Green! They recycled their plastic grocery bags at Jewel and received reusable green bags to use each time they shop for their groceries! This was done as a part of Transition’s ongoing recycling program, where the students learn the value of recycling aluminum cans, plastic bottles, paper, printer cartridges, cell phones, and other items commonly discarded.

Recently, they went bowling, paid for in part with the funds generated by our aluminum can recycling! It really pays to GO GREEN!

 

 
Braun Service Project Supports Our Troops
Classrooms at the Braun Educational Center have been busy working on an all school project to express their gratitude to our soldiers in VA hospitals or serving overseas.  Students have been designing their own cards, writing letters, and composing poems thanking our servicemen and women.  This project is being run by the students with minimal guidance from staff.  Many thanks to all the Braun staff and especially to Ms. Egan, Ms. Vasquez, and Mrs. Reinke for making this project possible!
