Recycling program
Kicked off the year with the bio tour bus assembly and introduced our recycling program to the entire high school students and staff
Every classroom has a cardboard box for paper recycling
Paper is collected by club members, bound with twine, and weighed

8. Recycling continued…
After paper is weighed, it is taken weekly, first by students, now by custodians, to the Parker recycling drop-off container.
A big THANKS to the Mayor of Parker!
