Welcome to the PS 40 Recycles blog!!!
Here you will find a log documenting the changes and efforts of PS 40 on their journey during the 2007/08 school year to compete for the 'TrashMasters! Super Recyclers' Golden Apple award in May 2008.
What is the Golden Apple Award?
'TrashMasters! Super Recyclers' is one of three Golden Apple contests in which New York City schools can compete and win a Golden Apple award.
How do we win?
Schools must present their students' efforts in a binder that summarizes all aspects of the school's projects including essays, photos, drawings, and other documentation.
A panel of judges review project binders and awards a Borough winner and runner-up cash prizes for each grade division (Elementary, Intermediate & High School divisions). Borough winners with the highest scores receive the title of 'Citywide Winner'.
