5th Grade Graduation
As a send off to the 5th graders the 4th grade provides a reception following their graduation ceremony on the last day of school. We expect anywhere from 300-400 students and family members to attend. Please help by donating your time or an item for this event. I have attached a google doc if you wish to sign up. Thanks so much for all your support this year!

Hard to Recycle Just Got Easier at Claxton
Between now and June 11th, Claxton is working with TerraCycle to collect hard to recycle items and trade them in for cash for our school. Plastic lined, color coded boxes will be placed on EACH floor and inside the front door. We strongly encourage bringing in waste from home.

· Foil lined snack bar wrappers (think Cliff Bar)
· Wine corks (both synthetic and natural)
· Juice bag containers (Honest Kids, Capri Sun)
· Household batteries (All alkaline, such as most flashlight batteries; lithium, such as watch and hearing aid batteries; and nickel and cadmium batteries, such as rechargeable batteries used for power tools.
Where do I recycle my items?
· Plastic lined, color coded boxes will be placed on EACH floor and inside the front door in the main lobby.
· LARGE ORANGE BOXES - Plastic writing utensils, foil lined snack bar wrappers and wine corks (both synthetic and natural)
· SMALL GREEN BOXES - Juice BAG containers ONLY. No boxes or cartons.
