Greene Team News
Thank you for bringing in your plastic lids and caps all year! Please continue dropping off your lids through Friday, March 17th. We will then use them to create a beautiful mosaic for Earth Day, which will be in the display case at the
entrance to school.
To celebrate Earth Day, we will be having a Waste Less Lunch on Friday, April 21st. If you pack your lunch on this day, please pack in a reusable lunch box with reusable containers and a refillable bottle. You can pack a cloth napkin or even just use your sleeve:) If you pack an entirely waste-free lunch (everything in your lunch is either compostable, reusable or recyclable and there's no trash at all), you will receive a prize at lunch! Remember, aluminum foil, plastic baggies, plastic straw wrappers, and yogurt pouches all count as trash! We will also be asking trivia questions and giving out prizes!
Please contact Kara at karaj.willis@gmail.com or Shana at shanabecca@gmail.com if you have any questions. Thank you for your help, Montgomery! GO GREEN and gold!

excited to be able to sponsor this event here at Sycamore High School once

ranges, delivery and free layaway will be available. Floor models will be on
display at Sycamore High School from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, April 29.
