TALKIN' TRASH Contest - EARN FREE TREAT(S) and R-CARDS
Talkin’ Trash (TT) is a school recycling and waste diversion competition that encourages elementary schools to engage in waste reduction, recycling, composting, and waste management practices. Every month, the top three winning schools will receive a plaque, supplies for their school, a recycled content prize for each 4th grader, and a visit from the Talkin' Trash crew! The students will also get a chance to appear on television. This is a school-wide effort to collect as much recyclables as possible.
As a school incentive to ALL students, each student will receive a treat and an R-card for every 13 gallon bag filled with recyclables. These recyclables include the following items: plastic bottles or jugs and aluminum cans. Please be sure to write the student's name along with his / her homeroom teacher's name on the bag.
Thanks in advance for your participation!

December Life Skill for the Month- “CARING”
Caring is... thinking about the concerns, cares, and feelings of others.
What Caring looks like:
-Make community service a family routine. Once a month volunteer to help others.
-You may suggest your child "adopt" an elderly person or needy person. The child can mow their lawn or clean their yard.
-Always remember - we become caring people by doing caring things!
Please let me know if there’s anything I can do to help your child this year!
