Tiger Highlight: NHS Leads the Way in Recycling! 🐯🌟
Celebrating our Recycling Champions! Our NHS Tigers had a wild time at the zoo as a well-deserved reward for their dedication all year long! Every Tuesday during Tiger Time, National Honor Society (NHS) members roll up their sleeves for recycling duty. Sorting paper, plastic, cardboard, and aluminum cans, they've made a huge impact! With nearly 100 pounds of aluminum recycled and a weekly bin full of plastic picked up by the city, our Tigers are leading the charge for sustainability! 🌍♻️ #stjschools #tigerpride
