Postlethwait and Fifer Middle Schools, among a handful of other school districts, individual schools, and local businesses have been acknowledged for their forward thinking in establishing critical recycling programs to divert waste from our landfills. Postlethwait's grant was awarded for planning and establishing The Compost Center as an extension of The Outdoor Classroom. An event was held in Milton, DE including inspiring and acknowledging remarks from DNREC Secretary Mr. Small and our current Governor Jack Markell.

Eighth grade students from Postlethwait Middle School practiced thinking like historians and stepped back in time at the John Dickinson Plantation. After learning about Dickinson's role in the American Revolution in class, students toured his mansion on the St. Jones and enjoyed stations on hearth cooking and primary document analysis. They even tried their hands at writing their own "indenture agreements" with genuine quill pens!
