Maybe they could integrate the Moultonborough Elementary School, say the fifth grade, with the Moultonboro transfer station with an educational workshop. By attending one hands-on, class per week at the transfer station, students could learn all about good citizenship, renewable science, and green energy by task-sharing their labor with the full time staff. Each week, a different transfer station employee would write up a stimulating and informed class plan for next Wednesday's 55 minute, 1:30 class.

Plus, doing some down & dirty transfer station work could be a good 'lesson in life' for fifth graders and encourage them to be better students. Plus, it would no doubt be a good challenge for the transfer station crew and make their job more interesting.

Ok, maybe 5th grade is way too young, and better to try it with say 8th graders. Doesn't eighth grade have an industrial arts program like woodworking, metal working and printing? The transfer station is already in place, staffed, and ready-to-go as a new "classroom."

Correctimondo?
