ATTENTION STUDENTS WHO EAT FROM THE CAFETERIA!!!

Did you know that you use 180 styrofoam plates that get thrown into the trash each school year when you buy your lunch from the cafeteria?

Think about how much garbage that is with ALL the students combined! OUR POOR EARTH!

The Elementary Environmental Club plans to kick off a campaign this week where we encourage students to bring tupperware to the cafeteria. Dona Betty has agreed to serve students their food in their tupperware containers to avoid using styrofoam products. Each time you avoid using a styrofam plate, you will receive a ticket on recycled paper. Trade in 5 of these tickets for a special prize from Ms. Willett's 4A classroom!

Prizes will be continuously changing but to celebrate our beautiful Earth, we're starting with DELICIOUS Earth-shaped cookies donated by "Cookie Fashion Hn"

Bring your tupperware containers this week to school!

HELP SAVE OUR PLANET!
