Go Green Week:

This week, Bennington FBLA is celebrating ‘Go Green Week’. Every day this week we’ll be sharing a new fact about how students at BHS can learn to reduce, reuse, and recycle. Here’s today’s fact: By switching to a reusable water bottle, you can save over 150 single-use plastic bottles from entering landfills every year. Keeping a refillable water bottle in your backpack keeps plastic out of waterways, landfills, and reduces everyday waste. Bring your favorite bottle to school tomorrow and start making an impact on our environment!
