Sedalia Elementary School fourth graders pose with one of their two composting bins behind the southeastern Graves County school. Their teacher, Keri Dowdy, and last year’s fourth graders won the Kentucky competition in the Disney Planet Challenge. The contest is designed as an opportunity for students to improve the environment, while they learn about it. Last year’s group grew the ingredients to make their own pizza and reduced cafeteria waste. This year’s class is following up on that effort by composting and teaching the practice to others. They call themselves “The Rot Squad.”
