We Interrupt This Election Campaign to Bring you a News Broadcast.

You may have heard of Phoenicia Elementary School’s innovative Recycling program, initiated by the school’s PTA. (The program is based on the 5Rs: Reduce, Refuse, Reuse, Rethink, Recycle.) Well, with the help of Digital Dave (music teacher David Laks), Ms. Sharon McInerney's 4th grade class at Phoenicia Elementary made a video about the program, and entered it into Senator Bonacic’s State-Wide “I’m A Green Nation” contest. Last week they were told that out of over 600 entries, they had won FIRST PRIZE. Ms. Mcinerney's class will be going to Albany on Tuesday, May 20th (election day!) to meet the Senator, 
other winners and to accept their award medals.

The current school board plans to close Phoenicia Elementary in three years.
