Field Day Is THIS MONDAY!
- Make sure your child is wearing comfortable shoes and clothes that they can get wet/dirty! The weather is suppose to be a high of 80, with some afternoon showers. They may want a dry set of clothes to change into after field day.
- If your child requested a hot dog lunch, or a school lunch- it will be at Memorial Stadium waiting on them! Don't forget to pack a lunch if that was their choice.
- Check out my favorite photo from my class last year at Field Day! I'm excited to put on the war paint with this group, as competitive as we are! I'm sure they will beat me in every event!

Weekly Progress Reports
Hard to Recycle Just Got Easier at Claxton
Between now and June 11th, Claxton is working with TerraCycle to collect hard to recycle items and trade them in for cash for our school. Plastic lined, color coded boxes will be placed on EACH floor and inside the front door. We strongly encourage bringing in waste from home.
What can I recycle now that I couldn’t previously?
· Plastic writing utensils (markers, mechanical pencils, highlighters pens, etc.)
· Foil lined snack bar wrappers (think Cliff Bar)
· Wine corks (both synthetic and natural)
· Juice bag containers (Honest Kids, Capri Sun)
· Household batteries (All alkaline, such as most flashlight batteries; lithium, such as watch and hearing aid batteries; and nickel and cadmium batteries, such as rechargeable batteries used for power tools.
Where do I recycle my items?
· Plastic lined, color coded boxes will be placed on EACH floor and inside the front door in the main lobby.
· LARGE ORANGE BOXES - Plastic writing utensils, foil lined snack bar wrappers and wine corks (both synthetic and natural)
· SMALL GREEN BOXES - Juice BAG containers ONLY. No boxes or cartons.
