Green Team Recycling Tips for January:
This month, the Green Team is examining the excess waste of plastic toys (including their packaging), bread tags and plastic bottle caps.
Be mindful as you consume this month.
Can you find an alternative item that has less plastic waste? Or better yet, can you do without buying something altogether? If you do have to buy the items, can you repurpose them into something new, or art perhaps? Our February meeting will be dedicated to turning plastic waste into art!
Green team would like to invite families to collect bread tags and plastic bottle caps (clean and dry). We will use them at our February meeting, but will continue to collect throughout the year. Collection bins will be outside Mrs. Christensen’s room, as well as in the front office. What doesn’t get used will be recycled in Ridwell bins.
If you want to receive a school directory, you must be a PTSA member. We welcome your support - thank you!
