Going Green...Reduce Your use of Plastic

Dear Families,

The Student Council has been busy this year helping protect the environment by encouraging you to reduce your use of plastic.  First we were able to get a donation of metal water bottles.  Now, we've decorated and given you canvas bags to encourage you to use them instead of plastic bags when you shop.  Profits from the  student store were used to purchase the bags.  Please reduce your reliance on plastic!

                                                  Sincerely,

                                                  Kim Scheidt

                                                  Student Council Advisor
