Katherine Anne Porter School has several programs to help do our part in cleaning up the planet. KAPS has glass, paper, aluminum, and plastic recycling inside the building, and then large paper and aluminum containers outside that people in the community use to both recycle what they can and donate to our school.
As KAPS is a charter school, most of our student body comes from the lower socio-economic realm; however, this team also consisted of one individual with quite a 'priviledged' background. Regardless, the largest impact on the team was to be found in the students computer literacy/comfortability. Those with fewer strengths in computer programming found themselves to be much more affective researchers than the others. Therefore, the need to separate into focus groups utitilizing the strengths of each student became apparent and easy to facilitate.
