Parents, register your student(s) online for the Coyote Trot A Thon at www.thegetmovincrew.com (click on Parents/Donors and set up  profile for your child). You can then promote your Coyote's page through email and social media. Our kids will enjoy watching their meter blast to the top!

Clean, dry, empty plastic bags/film/wrap can be returned to recycling drop-off locations.  (NOTE:  The City of Plano does NOT recycle these items curbside.  Plastic bags/film/wrap that are placed in your recycle cart actually clog the sorting & processing equipment at the Materials Recover Facility or MRF - pronounced "murf".) 
Look for recycling bins near store entrances.  Or go to www.plasticfilmrecycling.org and click "Find a Drop Off Location".  Recycled plastic bags and wraps can become new packaging or durable home building products.  SO GIVE YOUR GARBAGE ANOTHER LIFE!
