ColorCycle
Meadow Creek Parents, Teachers and Students:
Don't forget to bring used markers and highlighters of all brands to school for recycling through the ColorCycle program!
Please be sure to drop any old marker in one of the bins in the classroom or the large container in the office as you clean out your supplies at the end of the year. We are keeping THOUSANDS of dry and wet erase markers, highlighters, and regular markers out of the trash stream this way! Feel free to contact me with any questions about the program.
