Recycle Those Cards!

Hello parents and students!

Soon we will be celebrating the New Year-2011! Many of us will be making New Year Resolutions. I use this time to reflect on the goals that I've set and how I can improve and continue those goals. One of my goals is to continue to look for simple ways to help protect our Earth.

The JR High students have already placed a recycle bin in our classroom so that our students can recycle their papers. Our students love recycling their unwanted papers! Many students also have brought in plastic bottles and aluminum cans to take to Mrs. Rackley for recycling.

Mrs. Boehme has an excellent idea for recycling Christmas cards. We used the front cover of the card and glued it to a piece of construction paper and created a new card. Mrs. Guzman mailed the cards to her brother-in-law and his troop. It was a great idea! We would like for you to send any cards that you no longer need. We will save them and use them again!

Happy Recycling in the New Year!
