Book Fair
- Sign up to help with the Book Fair!
We still have a lot of opening and need a lot of help. Please, sign up to help where you are able. This is a really fun time every year!
Bottle Cap Collection!
Bottle cap collection for benches is here! Last year was a huge success! We collected 800 pounds of caps which earned us two 6 foot benches which are now placed in the front of the school. This year our goal is to collect 1,200 pounds to get three more benches. You can send your cleaned plastic caps with your student and they can bring it to the science lab before the bell rings at 7:45 a.m.
Acceptable caps are plastic that have the recycle numbers of 2, 4, or 5. This can include flip tops, sour cream or butter lids, water bottle, and soda lids. To view the acceptable caps list visit www.greentreeplastics.com/abc-program/.
