Thanksgiving holds a tradition of sharing food so everyone has enough to eat, making it a great time to remind your students to not waste food.
Let us help you create a sharing table where students can place unwanted packaged food, drinks, and whole fruit for a hungry classmate to take. We can also assist in setting up a system to collect the leftovers for a local food pantry. The District has worked with state and local health departments to create guidelines for rescuing these items at schools. For more information, email

Bring Some Holiday Fun to your Classroom
Combine recycling education and holiday crafts with a "Changing States of Matter" or "Paper Factory" classroom program.
Print and hang this
glass recycling poster around your school and share these facts during announcements and in newsletters to encourage recycling of glass bottles and jars:
Glass is made from sand, a non-renewable resource.
There is no limit to the number of times glass can be recycled.
Recycled glass uses 40% less energy to make a new glass product.
A glass bottle takes 4,000 years or more to decompose, and even longer if it's in a landfill.
