Monthly updates throughout the school year allow
staff, students, and the community to see how well we are doing at
recycling, reuse, and waste reduction. Updates also allow us to
watch our money saving efforts grow throughout the year. Updates are
sent electronically and teachers/staff are asked to post them by their
recycle bins to share.
