NEW RECYCLING FUNDRAISER PROGRAM:

All students are invited to participate in our GIGANTIC recycling fundraiser to raise awareness about our new school-wide recycling program, as well as raising money for interactive & hands-on experiences at our upcoming Science Fair.

Between now and Dec. 1st collect as many recyclables as you can at home. Bring them to school on Dec. 1st and we will have a “weigh-in” to find out who collected the most!!

Parents - recyclables to collect are: All items that read CA CRV on the label = all aluminum cans, plastic bottles (look for the number in the triangle on the bottom, #1 through #7), & almost all water bottles.

Thank you very much. Any questions please don’t hesitate to Andrea Burgan (Recycling Committee) 619.985.2415 or Shelley Glenn Lee (Science Fair) 858.395.7435
