The Register collaborated with Iola Elementary School to sponsor an Earth Day Giveaway. Teachers and students integrated past editions of Register newspapers in their classrooms as a fun way to remember the importance of recycling.

A lucky classroom, selected by a raffle, will win a pizza party.

Here are a few photos that caught our eye on Friday afternoon.
