Recycling News
All of the students that recycled from January-March received a raffle ticket each time that they recycled to win 2 Disneyland Hopper Tickets. Watch the video to find out who our two lucky winners were!
Thank you to all of the families that recycled this year. We raised $925 dollars that will go back to Maple Hill. A big THANK YOU to the Smith Family (Logan and Addison Smith's parents and Grandpa) for overseeing our Recycling Program this year. We are always in need of parent volunteers to assist, please let Ms. Morris know if you are interested in joining the crew next year.

If you have any questions, please email me at kmorris@wvusd.k12.ca.us or text Mrs. McNeil with your questions at 909-248-4404.
Respectfully,
