McCardle Elementary School
Mercier's "McCardle Mustangs Green Team" project helps to greatly reduce waste at the school. Students examine the different items that are thrown out and see which can be recycled. Students then volunteer to help recycle items during their lunch hour. Visitors to the school are also encouraged to recycle, and gardens are being planted in front of the school to help beautify the grounds.
