In celebration of Earth Day, the SmartTech classes at Thomas Edison EnergySmart Charter School created a TEECS logo sign made out of recycled bottle caps. Each class had a part in sorting caps by color and gluing them onto the boards. Today, April 23, 2019, the school hung them on the fence of the soccer field.
