RECYCLE WITH US!

The elementary /preschool campus is beginning a school-wide paper recycling project. Teachers and students are thinking "green" when throwing items away in their classrooms. Each class will be getting a trash bin for paper products, donated by The Home Depot. The Christian Council (shown at right with temporary bins) is emptying the waste paper into the new Paper Retriever dumpster. The dumpster is located in the east corner of the large parking lot at the Elementary Campus. Each time the dumpster is filled, the school receives money from the Paper Retriever company. This year, all money made from our recycling efforts will be donated to Compassion International. It's an easy way to help the environment while helping others less fortunate.

Anyone may use the dumpster to help us raise money for the Compassion children! Parents may bring in newspapers, junk mail, or even shredded papers from the office. There are a few items the company is not able to recycle. Please refer to the list below.
