Introducing

JUNKYARD
DOGS
The
West Rowan
Middle School Students set forth on a project to enter into the school
competition that was held at Watagaua High School in Boone, NC on March
8th, 2008. With the help of some wonderful folks on Rowan rEcycle
gifting them a battery,
lawn mower tires, paint, trolling motor, riding lawn mower, axles, etc. they were able to put
together an electric car, all from recycled materials! Trash to
Treasure at it's best!
Shown below are photos.
CONGRATULATIONS!
to the West Rowan Middle School students for taking 3rd place!
The finished project.
A note from Sherry:
The
kids went to competition and they walked away with a trophey
for the school and 3rd place medals.
They also got the sportsmanship
medal too. This has truly been an adventure and considering they
almost got disqualified for the type of battery they used I think they
did an awesome job.
We couldn't have made it without the help of Rowan
Recycle.
Thanks,
Sherry
The beginning stages.
