(KNZA)--For the second year in a row, Hiawatha Elementary School has placed in the Made by Milk contest, awarding the school $1,000.
156 schools across the United States competed in the contest sponsored by Evergreen Packaging.
Classroom teams could win up to $5,000 by constructing animal creations from empty milk cartons, saved from their school lunches.
The Made by Milk Contest urges students around the country to celebrate healthy eating and teamwork while learning valuable lessons on the importance of recycling by repurposing their empty cartons.
Students in the Hiawatha school district saved over 85-hundred cartons, which was used to create a massive mollusk named Oscar.
School officials say the outpour of support from students was incredible. The project had sixty-four fourth graders working to create the massive mollusk.
