School-Wide Recycling Initiative!
I’m collaborating with Ms. Judd, Ms. Kwok and the 2nd grade team on an exciting school-wide recycling program. We are worried about all of the waste created when students use art materials and want to find ways to repurpose and recycle materials rather than trashing them!
The first phase of the project is being organized by the 2nd grade team…
The Crayon Initiative: Bring your old or broken crayons to CCS! We are collecting crayons that will be sent to The Crayon Initiative to recycle and turn into new crayons to be used by children in hospitals. This project helps the environment and children around the country! Bring your used and/or broken crayons to the drop boxes located in the main lobby, by the doors near the cafeteria, and in the grade 1, 2, and 3 group open areas. The second grade will be collecting these crayons from January 21- January 31. Then, Miss Judd (1J) and Ms. Kwok/ Ms. Em (art teachers) will continue the collection in February and beyond. Special thanks to the PTO for funding the shipping costs for this community service project. Find out more about The Crayon Initiative at www.thecrayoninitiative.org
