During American Education Week, students in the school's environmental club are collecting items to be recycled.
America Recycles Day—Nov. 15—falls in the middle of American Education Week this year and students at Parkville's Villa Cresta Elementary School are doing their part to pitch in.

"If the weather is nice we'll be outside, if not then we'll be in the lobby," said Stephanie Foy, a Villa Cresta teacher and green team advisor. Members of the community are welcome to drop off recyclables, but Foy said it would be best if they could reach out to a student. "Anyone, …
