October was the International Walk to School Month. We participated in the Green Works Walk To School Challenge. Elementary and middle school students and their families walked to help the schools win one of the five $5000 grants by walking or bicycling to school Chadbourne's Walk Your Child to School team and EcoClub encouraged all the students and parents to walk and log their trips on the Facebook page set up for this purpose. At the end of the month, Chadbourne scored the second highest points in the country. The top five schools received a grant of $5000 from the school. Battery recycling We honored the Walk to School Everyday Challenge by collecting batteries every Friday of October, instead of just the first Friday. We collected three buckets full of batteries!
