SEVENTH-GRADERS

NE-PIMS PLASTIC TRAYS-CLR-DC-SH-25Staff photo/Scott Mitchell Johnson

SEVENTH-GRADERS in Elaine Hendrickson’s English/social studies classes at Presque Isle Middle School were recently successful in convincing administrators to revert back to plastic serving trays in the cafeteria. The middle school had previously been serving food on Styrofoam trays and the students learned that Styrofoam is not biodegradable and just sits in the landfill. Presenting a new plastic tray to Kathy Allen, food services director for SAD 1, are, from left, front row: Olivia Hudson, Kassidy Voisine, Michael Mahon, Alyssa Hewitt, Lindsey Lagerstrom and Dylan Gilson. Middle row: Jessie Brown, Taylor Williams, Malerie Buck, Allen, Lucie Simpson and Clayton Mutty. Back row: Shawn Dow, Nick Powers, Christian Sparks, Connor Murchison and Steven Kinney. Absent when the photo was taken were Alyssa Sweeney and Jesse Sullivan.
