Catonsville Elementary News Today

The Catonsville community is giving back to the family of a teacher who died of cancer after a 20-year career.

On Monday, we ran a roundup of arguments against (and one for) single-use plastic bottles from Catonsville Elementary fifth graders. Their teacher wrote us later to say three students inadvertently had been left out of the submission. And we can’t have that.

Erin Ledford, a language arts teacher at Catonsville Elementary, recently tasked her 5th grade students to research the benefits and disadvantages of single-use water bottles and write a letter to the newspaper expressing their opinions. We’re happy to give them space to make their case.
