• Past Student Driven Projects

  • During the 2014-2015 SY, Student-driven projects varied greatly among school sites and grades. Project topics included gardening, composting, bulletin board covers, electronic rat repellents, water filtration for drinking and garden use, water skimming devices to clean water pollution, soundproofing, model lockers and railroad safety.
    • Railroad Safety (John Ruhrah, 4th):

• • • Water filtration (Barclay, 5th):

• • Specifically, the 4^th graders at Barclay Elementary/Middle School decided to start a composting campaign to support the school’s garden. They researched composting, learned about the process through field trips and guest speakers, tested methods on a small class compost batch and ultimately piloted their implementation plan during one lunch period.
