BOX TOPS
Last Call! Last call for Box Tops! Please submit all Box Tops by May 29th! Let's see how many Box Tops we can collet before the end of the school year! And, let's KEEP COLLECTING all summer so we can start out strong in the Fall!
CRAYOLA COLORCYCLE
In April the PTO initiated the participation of Cooks Corners in became a participant in the Crayola Colorcycle program which collects and repurposes used Crayola (and non-Crayola) markers!
The ColorCycle program has repurposed more than 70 tons of expended markers in the United States and Canada since 2013, and uses the most advanced plastic conversion technologies available today to make wax compounds for asphalt and roofing shingles as well as to generate electricity that can be used to heat homes, cook food, and power vehicles.
Please help support our efforts by sending your kids in with any used markers you may have around the house- even non-Crayola brands! Highlighters and dry erase markers can also be included. Drop-off boxes will be located around the school for your child to deposit the markers.
Thank you in advance for participating! With the help of parents like you across the country, the Crayola ColorCycle program can continue to keep tons of plastic out of landfills each year.
Remember, don’t throw out that used marker—ColorCycle it!
