SHIFT Happens
The Macon County Three-Star Committee strongly recommends that school board members, school principals, school administrators, teachers, parents, students, and community leaders watch these fascinating videos on YouTube.  Each of the videos deals with the same general subject, but each video is slightly different, so we recommend that you watch both.

Free Recycling
Join the Recycling Movement that's spreading around the world.  The goal of Free Recycling is to reduce the amount of useable stuff that winds up being thrown away, filling up our landfills, and using up our natural resources.  Members post items online that they no longer want: a table, a power tool, a bed, a toy, clothes, a computer, whatever.  Another member spots something he/she wants, contacts the current owner, and receives the item for free.  No money changes hands.   Simple and elegant, and less unnecessary waste!  To join the online Macon County Free Recycle group, please click here.
