Help SDYS Go Green
Bring your own water bottle!
We throw away hundreds of single-use paper cups every weekend, which equates to over
14,000 cups every season
. Help us divert this waste by bringing your own reusable water bottle to rehearsal. If you do not have a water bottle, you can buy one at rehearsals for $5.
Have you lost your water bottle? Come by the office this weekend or ask a PA about it.
String recycling!
We have a new string recycling program. Please feel free to bring any of your old violin, viola, cello, bass, or guitar strings to the office to recycle. After collection, the metal and nylon strings are separated by type and the metal is melted down and smelted into new metal alloys. The nylon is recycled into industrial plastic applications. Read more about it
here.

Lost & Found
Have you lost your water bottle, jacket, backpack, book, sunglasses, or note cards?
SDYS has many items that students have left behind during rehearsals. Please feel free to stop by the office to claim your student's lost item(s).
