McCoy Elementary Wins the District Pluck A Plastic Bag Challenge

Nov. 7-14, the District Improvement Council set up a challenge to students and staff, to “Pluck A Plastic Bag from the Landfill Challenge” – the goal was to pluck 50,000 bags to be properly recycled. With 12 campuses participating, students and staff were just shy of the goal, successfully preventing 48,798 bags from going into the landfill. Plastic bags can take 1000 years to decay in the landfill, and wild animals are sometimes harmed by getting caught in the bags or consuming them.
