Green Team Project – The green team has started to become aware of the amount of waste in our school.   We weight the bathroom trash and we make about 10 pounds of trash in one day in the two bathrooms.  That is 50 pounds a week, 200 pounds a month and 2000 pounds a year.  We have decided to help eliminate paper waste.  We are going to try to raise enough money to buy hand dryers for each of the bathrooms.  They are $300 each so we will need to raise $600.

Meeting on Tuesday – We will be making candles and molded crayons.   We will be melting crayons and pouring them in molds that I bought for candles and shapes for crayons.   I would like to sell these after school on Wednesday.

Parent Volunteers Needed – Does anyone who has a heat source like a hot plate or  slow cooker that they could bring in to help melt the wax.  We will also be using the 2 microwaves.

Bake Sale/Pizza/Candle and Crayon sale on Wednesday after school – Please send donation of baked good and cheese pizza on Wednesday.  Volunteers needed to help with the sale.

Waste Free Lunch – We weighted the cafeteria garbage last week and we made 54 pounds of garage in one day of lunch, that is 270 pounds of garbage in one week,  1080 lbs of garbage in one month and 10, 800 lbs of garbage just from lunch in one year.    Please to provide a completely wastefree lunch for your child,  encourage your freinds to do the same.
