But it can be a tough subject to tackle with kids, and there\u2019s a lot of big ideas to consider: scientific curiosity, natural wonder, awareness of problems and solutions, and growing kids\u2019 responsibility for doing the right thing.&nbsp; In Richmond, VA, we\u2019re proud to be working with a local school to help tackle these subjects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2022,<strong> Colin White &#8211; EHS Specialist at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simsmm.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sims Metal<\/a><\/strong>, reached out to <strong>Fatima Smith, Principal at Oak- Grove \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/ogbes.rvaschools.net\/\">Bellemeade Elementary School (OGBES)<\/a><\/strong>, located just a few miles from<strong> Sims Metal in Richmond, VA<\/strong>. OGBES is a Title 1 school that serves approximately 675 students in PreK \u2013 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-fullwidth has-medium-font-size is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\u201cFrom that very first meeting, we realized Sims and OGBES had so many values in common. Mrs. Smith is an acclaimed educator who has a genuine commitment to helping schools implement educational programs focused on environmental stewardship, sustainability, and recycling. From that first day, specific short- and long-term goals have been set up to consolidate a partnership that directly benefits OGBES students\u2019 education.&#8221;<\/p>\n<cite>Colin White &#8211; EHS Specialist<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.simsmm.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sims Metal<\/a><\/strong> has offered financial support for the 2022-2023 school year to source school and teacher supplies, software licenses, and laboratory kits and equipment for an after-school program focused on the circular economy, sustainability, and the recycling industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using the school\u2019s grounds in Bellemeade Park, which include a waterway, as a practical learning environment, the kids examine macro and micro life all around them. That gets them thinking on human impacts on the environment \u2013 like climate change, litter and pollution \u2013 and how humans can solve these problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The job of the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.simsmm.com\/\">Sims Metal<\/a> team is teaching the OGBES students the importance of keeping resources in use for as long as possible, how to recycle correctly and what metal recycling techniques are.<\/strong> The program also includes speeches from our business experts and hands-on demonstrations for the students!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery
