Wal-Mart Recycling Challenge!

 

We turned in 181 60-gallon bags this year compared to 129 last year!.

Ms. Lautt, Ms. Reuel and Ms. Jannusch/Ms. McCarthy's classes earned ice cream sundae parties for bringing in the most bags in the month of March.

Walmart will be posting the rankings soon. Hopefully we moved up!

Keep saving over the summer. We will participate again next year!
