[easyrotator align="left"]erc_56_1370044573[/easyrotator]The students at the Northeast Range School have been collecting and recycling beverage containers in order to raise awareness of a possible Minnesota Recycling Refund program. Conservation Minnesota offered to pay the group ten cents for each of the first 10,000 cans and bottles recycled. The students would like to thank the parents and community members who generously donated and/or delivered containers to the school.

Recycling Beverage Container Drive

Congratulations to the raffle winners on Friday. The 10th grade class is sponsoring a recycling drive to raise money and awareness of beverage recycling rates in Minnesota.

Winter Camping

Students from the Forest Field Skills/Mammal Tracking class at Northeast Range enjoyed 2 nights in the BWCA camping. On February 23rd, students woke up early and finished the morning with a 4 mile hike to Ella Hall Lake. There were smiles all around, minus a few comments such as, "a bit colder than expected last night", "sled... so... heavy" and "travel was easy until we got off the dogsled trail..." The students were well prepared and spent the days catching Northern, eating and getting a head start on summer tans. Congratulations to all on a fun and successful adventure and ...
