For the past three years, Skyridge Middle School has been at the forefront of the environmentally friendly Washington Green Schools program, which provides resource conservation tools for students, teachers and community members.
Recently, four seventh-graders were selected to attend a county wide student-teacher Green Schools Summit. They included Joey Emmet, Cooper McNatt, Michael Matthews and Christian Nghiem.
They were selected because of a keen interest in being environmentally friendly, according to teacher Gale Cooper.
"These kids are really excited about our existing programs at the school and are avid recyclers," she said.
