Ecology part of Goddard curriculum
Category : Wichita Eagle
At Goddard High School, named Kansas’ 2010 Green School of the Year by a group of environmental educators, ecology is part of the curriculum.
Every Friday, students round up all of the paper, aluminum and plastic that has accumulated in the district’s more than 20 buildings and deliver it to a local recycling plant. Last year, they collected more than 20 tons of paper, 30,000 bottles
and 10,000 aluminum cans from Goddard school buildings, according to the district’s records.
The effort is part of an ecology class taught by Denise Scribner and Marylee Ramsay, an upper-level science course that students can take after completing physical science and biology.
