On St. Patrick’s Day, Lily and Leroy, the twin leprechauns were looking for gold.  They saw something shiny in the garbage can.  Lily jumped into the garbage can to get the gold but realized it was just fishy crackers.  Leroy was worried because he heard Mr. Trevors singing, so he knew that he was on his way to pick up the garbage.  So Leroy tries to help Lily but it was too late because Mr. Trevors already took the garbage away.  While Lily is inside the garbage bag she realizes that people need to remember the 3 R’s (reduce, reuse and recycle).   Inside the bag she saw plastic, cardboard, paper, pop cans, water bottles, broken toys, clothes and juice boxes.  Lily decides that she needs to get back to school to tell the students about the 3 R’s.  Lily uses her sharp nails to cut open the garbage bag to get out.  Lily makes her way back to the school and tells Leroy about the stuff she saw in the garbage bag.  They decide to leave a message behind to remind the kids about the 3 R’s.  They both go back to their homes and decided that they will check out more garbage cans to see if people are recycling.  Written by, Mrs. O’Toole’s Class
