Clean Commuting
How do you commute to school? Hopefully you commute with the least impact on our environment. Berkmar students are learning about reducing air pollution by walking, biking, carpooling, and riding the bus to school.
Some teachers are clean-commuting in hybrid or electric vehicles. Check out Mrs. Head's Nissan Leaf, an all-electric, no-emission clean car! Also, check out Ms. Brodnax's Toyota Prius, a hybrid vehicle using electric and gas power.

America Recycles Day
In November, we participated in America Recycles Day. Berkmar Ecogeeks collected loads of plastic bottles, plastic grocery bags and aluminum can tabs to recycle. Thank you for great participation!
We will continue to collect these items in Ms. Brodnax's and Mrs. Head's rooms throughout the year.
