Waldorf students receive award from city

Waldorf School of Orange County’s eighth-grade class was honored Friday morning with the Environmental Excellence Award by the city of Costa Mesa for starting a schoolwide recycling program a year ago. The eighth-graders introduced green products to the community at school festivals, are working on creating mini-presentation on the importance of recycling for classrooms, and have applied to start a local chapter of Teens Turning Green, a national organization.
