Mineola School District is proud to highlight the team of second grade learners who will be heading up the Meadow Drive School recycling initiative this year.

Throughout this school year, the students will be collecting cans and bottles around the school with the dual intention of helping the environment and raising money to benefit the community.

The students will take turns collecting and washing the cans and bottles every Friday before they are picked up by a parent volunteer who, with the help of their student, will handle the return and collect the deposit.

At the conclusion of the campaign, all the money collected will be used to purchase food for St. Aidan’s food pantry in Williston Park.

We are #MineolaProud of these learners for their kindness, empathy and dedication to the community.
