Trex Plastic Film Recycling Challenge Update!

Roadrunners, thank you for supporting Aspen's campaign for the Trex Plastic Film Recycling Challenge this year! We ended up collecting a total of 332 pounds of plastic film, which will be recycled into composite Trex decking and other outdoor products. While we did not win any prizes for collections, we are happy to announce that our school was awarded a $3,000 check for winning 2nd place in the social media category!

Approximately 780 schools registered for the nationwide challenge and collectively recycled over 420,000 pounds of plastic film! Thank you for your help and for keeping plastic out of our landfills.

  • Stay in the right hand lane, move all the way forward, and ONLY drop your student off from the right side of the vehicle when in the parking lot.
  • Do not allow your child to walk unattended between cars.
  • Never leave your vehicle unattended in the drive-thru lanes.
  • Do not block intersections along Oberlin Avenue while waiting to enter the parking lot.

PLAYGROUNDS BEFORE SCHOOL

Please note that all playgrounds are closed before school and students should not be playing on the playgrounds, as this is a safety concern due to the lack of adult supervision. All students are expected to line up outside of their classrooms if they arrive before the first bell at 8:12 am. Please assist us in reminding your students to not play on the playgrounds before school. Thank you for your help in keeping our students safe.
