Updates from the Environmental Committee

The next meeting of the Environmental Committee will be on Wednesday, Feb. 1 at 6:30 p.m.

All grades have now been taught about Reducing, Reusing and Recycling (the 3R's). The cafeteria and classroom recycling has really taken off. Thank you to all of the cafeteria staff, teachers and students for helping to adopt our new practices. A special thanks to Ken for helping us to get it right!

We have collected over 3,500 drink pouches in the cafeteria since October and have already earned over $70 for MPA. Wow! That's for drink containers we were throwing out before!!!

A big thank you goes to Berlin's Restaurant and Supply and Cici's Pizza for donating nearly 100 pieces of reusable flatware and plates for the 5th grade holiday feast, and for reuse at future MPA get-togethers! This is an excellent example of the 3R's!!! We're teaching kids the importance of waste reduction.

Thanks! Questions about the Environmental Committee can be directed to Ansara Piebenga at: 276-6154 or Bronwyn Santos at: 412-4959.
