Needed: Plastic Grocery Bags

This summer we will be doing several projects that help our community. For one of the projects we will making beds out of plastic grocery bags for those in need. Please donate any extra plastic grocery bags you have to either Oak or Cherry campus. It takes 1,000s of bags for each bed, so the more the better! 

You can bring bags starting next Tuesday. Collection bins will be available at both campus.

Needed: Plastic Bottle Caps

Do you drink bottled water or other drinks? If so, when done with your beverage, please consider rinsing it then sending it with your child to the Oak campus summer school office so it can be used in fun educational activities.
