COST SAVINGS

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.
