We want your old markers!

If you have dried out old markers lying around in your drawers (and let’s face it, we know you do!) don’t toss them out – recycle them!

Look for this collection container in the main hallway beside the lost and found. Markers are collected and shipped to Crayola for recycling as part of their ColorCycle program. Their program accept all brands of markers (how awesome is that?).

Since January of this year we have rescued 23lbs worth of markers from the garbage dump – now that’s something to feel good about!

Got extra Books, Games & Art Supplies?

Donate your gently used books, games and art supplies to the school – November 14th to November 18th!

Donations are greatly needed to entertain the students on rainy/cold days during recess (so games need to be played within 30 minutes), and for teacher’s classrooms.

Please drop-off your age-appropriate books, games and/or art supplies outside the school office. Your help in making this much needed initiative a success is greatly appreciated… especially by the students!
