Donations
KEYSTONE GREEN DONATION BIN
Keystone Green collects clothes and shoes from the collection bin on a monthly basis. Donations are then sent to local nonprofits and the balance is sent and reused in developing countries. By donating to Keystone Green your used clothes stay out of landfills.
Help protect the planet and raise money for our school! Please bag or box all donations and place them inside the bin.
Look for the red collection bin on the left side of the school near the loading dock.
Lost and Found
Our Tables are piling up!
We currently have a large amount of lost and found items in the cafeteria. Please have your student stop by and see if anything belongs to them or you may call the office if you would like to schedule a time to take a look for missing items.
We will be donating everything to our Keystone Green bin out by the loading docks before we close over winter break. Nothing will be saved after December 22nd
