Phenix PreK-8 planting seeds for butterfly garden

Phenix PreK-8 has expanded its recycling program as it works to raise $1,000 for butterfly gardens in two of its courtyards. The school recently joined the TerraCycle program, which converts empty juice pouches from brands including Capri Sun and Kool-Aid into new products such as bags. It is also collecting cans. Every pouch students turn in earns the school two cents, said Jessica Scott, a preschool teacher who is coordinating the effort. Phenix also started a "beautification fund" for cash donations toward the project.
