Allan Elementary School
In its first year as a Clean Creek Campus Allan Elementary School has come over the top - 3rd graders have studied the dynamics of compost and are installing a compost bin, 4th graders initiated a campus recycling campaign and 5th graders learned aobut litter and watersheds and then cleaned Boggy Creek.
