The Gilmanton School worked hard tochange from plastic to washable uten-
sils. The students held a silverware drive,giving families a perfect outlet to donatemismatched utensils. Not only did this save
the school money, but it saves the environ-ment too. Once the silverware was put intouse, students monitored trash cans, to makesure that it wasn’t being thrown away. Thisis a win-win situation for the earth and theschool! Great job Gilmanton School stu-dents! We hope more schools follow yourgreat lead.
