WE RECYCLE!
Last school year, many children and families supported our Terracycle recycling efforts by helping to collect squeezy pouches and oral care items. I’m excited to announce that through our efforts, we raised a total of $141! That’s $141 in our pocket and NOT in the trash!

Let’s keep going and see if we can beat that amount this school year. Remember to recycle your squeezy pouches and oral care items of any brand with Ms. King.

We are also collecting dried-up markers of any kind and any brand. Instead of tossing an old marker into the trash, toss it into your class’s Colorcycle bag!
For more information, click on Colorcycle .
