  3. Messages from the Eco Club:

(Yesterday’s message) Each day, many students eat their snacks in the school yard during RECESS. However, sometimes students leave reusable containers on the playground when recess is over. Please make sure to stop and check if you have everything before you come back inside at the end of recess. And, if you find a lost container, treat it with respect so that it can be returned to the owner.

(Today’s message) Students, do you use the green bins in the lunchrooms? Please make sure that only the uneaten food from your lunch (like apple cores and orange peels) go in these bins. Please help make sure that no pastic or metal wrappers go in the GREEN BINS. Thank you for your help!
