Character Education students at Diamond Fork Junior High School have been busy.  Every Friday of the school year this class of 35 seventh graders collects hundreds of pounds of used paper to recycle.  After visiting every room in this school of 1,200 students, the used paper is then hauled to the back parking lot and deposited into the recycling bins.  This recycled paper is purchased by a recycling company, which generates over $300 a year.
 
On Wednesday, October 30th the Character Education students used the money they raised to purchase the necessary items to make 50 sack lunches to distribute to homeless and hungry people at the Food and Care Coalition in Provo.  They visited the coalition and toured many of its facilities - even meeting with some of the people receiving assistance.  This was a powerful and eye-opening experience for many students.  Congratulations to the Character Education students at DFJHS for their hard work and success.
