E-Waste Project Begins
Students in Rooms 302 and 307 listen to a discussion led by Willie Cade, Executive Director of Computers for Schools.  Mr. Cade brought in facts and information about electronic waste, and students will begin our community-wide educational campaign to collect and recycle this material.  The project is a result of five Waters' teachers being awarded a Teaching with Technology grant from Hewlett Packard.  The teachers involved in the project are Ms. Ballasch, Ms. Connelly, Ms. Radnitzer, Ms. Termini and Ms. Vecchioni.
