Open Your Eyes (OYE) is a group in Newfield High School that I co-founded in the mid 2006-2007 school year. OYE is a group, not a school funded club that is geared toward tackling world issues. This year we took action against global warming by starting a recycling program in our school. This involved painting and labeling boxes, distributing them into all of the classrooms, and recycling the paper each week. Once our recycling project was under way we raised money and supplies for save-a-pet totaling in approximately $600.
