In an effort to reduce waste, we will have a Litterless Lunch Contest this week! Tomorrow at lunch, Eco Club members will come around to see who is bringing a litterless lunch to school. If you are caught doing so, your name will be entered into a draw for a chance to win a prize. We know that you all do a great job daily. Please keep those litterless lunches coming. And don’t forget: Litterless lunch means no using juice boxes or yoghurt containers. Thank You!
