From Home: Please bring in your old cell phones (we have already earned several hundred dollars for our schools), ink cartridges, printer cartridges, plastic rings (from multi-pack cans), pull-tabs from aluminum cans (for the Ronald McDonald houses) and old greeting cards. Collection areas for Madison and Edison are directly outside the school offices, and collection areas for Lincoln are in the LMC and in the main office.

From School (Desk and Locker Cleanouts): Please remember to REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE! Say NO to garbage bins and YES to recycling bins! Recycle all paper and cardboard by placing them directly into classroom recycling bins. If they fill up, please bring them to the main recycling bins in your buildings and continue filling them up in your classrooms. All old crayons (whole and pieces) can be placed directly into drawstring bags in the common recycling areas in your schools. If students have gently used school supplies that are suitable for giving to others for next year, please place those items in the S.O.S. (Share Our Supplies) bin at Edison, or ask teachers at Madison and Lincoln if they can use these supplies for next year (for instance, unused folders or spirals, gently used or unused glue sticks or bottles, pencils, pens, erasers, markers and other supplies) and find out where they should be stored.

Let's make this year the best we've ever had for increasing our recycling input and decreasing our garbage output! Thank you! -- The PTA Ecology Committee
