EARTH DAY CHALLENGE 2011
Can We Do It?
Our goal is to FILL Principal Chris Gibson’s office with plastic grocery bags.
Start saving those plastic grocery bags.You know you have them stashed somewhere
in your home!Join the recycyling FUN. We can do it! Your student may bring the plastic bags into their classroom anytime. Then during EARTH WEEK,the students will start STUFFING monitor their recycling efforts through Mrs. Gibson’s window. At the end of the week all bags will be taken to the recycling center, and be out of your home, and not headed for the landfill.

How you can help? Clean out your closets and RECYCLE gently worn or donate
new shoes. Put a rubber band around them or tie them together and place in
collection boxes at Weber. Where will shoes go? Tonya Nicholson(2005 Weber graduate) had a love for helping others and had volunteered in Haiti. Shoes that are collected will be sent to Soles4Souls, which will ship our collection to Haiti.
