America Recycles Day is fast approaching!
The week of Monday November 10 through Friday the 14th, don’t forget to send in magazines and catalogs for Folger’s recycling contest. Every classroom will have a collection box, thanks to the OC2.
On Friday the 14th, we will stack up and measure all of the magazines & catalogue to see which classroom deserves recognition for collecting the most recyclables.

Fridays are Aluminum Can Recycling Days.
Every Friday, members of the OC2 will be collecting at the school
entrance. We are participating in the Great American Can Roundup challenge. Your aluminum cans should be rinsed and placed in a shopping bag. Please include a slip of paper with the student’s name, grade, teacher, and the number of cans enclosed.
It is so exciting to know that everyone’s can contributions can be redeemed for some green (money!) for Folger.

Waste Free Wednesdays are underway! Get caught “green-handed.” Members of the Outdoor Classroom Club (OC2) will be on the look-out every Wednesday in the cafeteria. We will be recognizing those superstar Folger students who produce little to no waste. This means FOOD items, too! Not only is it important to pack lunch in reusable
containers, but also to pack reasonably-sized meals. We’re working to cut out extra food that ends up in the trash.
Reduce over-filled lunches, Reuse containers, and Recycle our trash… it’s enough to make anyone green with envy!
