Hauppauge's Forest Brook Elementary School Takes Part In Recycling Challenge For Earth Day

HAUPPAUGE, NY — In honor of Earth Day on April 22, second graders at Forest Brook Elementary School in the Hauppauge School District took part in a recycling challenge.

Students were tasked with creating something useful with a box, using an additional five other recycled materials to build with.

Students came up with imaginative designs such as a plastic bottle car, flower vase, piggy bank, cereal dispenser, guitar and more. They were first asked to draw and label their final design before building.

Afterward, they answered the questions, "What recycled materials did you use?," "How does your
design work and what does it do?" and "How would you improve your design?"
