You would be amazed to see that after 150+ meals served we accumulated less than half of a paper grocery bag of trash. We compost a small garbage pail of food scraps and recycle a trash bag of milk cartons and juice boxes. We are proud that our students, teachers and staff are conscientious and dedicated to helping contain the impact of waste on Earth. In this picture, there are four bags of trash, one from breakfast and one from each of the three lunches of Wednesday. Many thanks and kudos to Larry, Kara, Deb and Betty for their dedication to implementing a system that works for the students, maintains the cleanliness of the disposal area and recycles and composts. Larry deserves special applause for all he has done to make recycling and composting an integral part of our days at Swift River. He is an example of how one person can make a big difference for our environment!

Inside the Furnace Room 2011

These boiler rings were stacked and reinforced. Later they will be filled with water.	This is another view of the rings. When the furnace is working, fire inside the center will warm the water in the rings to give us heat.	A shiny blue cover was placed over the boiler rings. It is now wrapped in plastic and duct tape while more work is being done.	The new ceiling gets a fresh coat of paint.

The Finished Product!
