Calvary's Earth Day

Celebrate Earth Day on Thursday, April 26th by wearing your 'Earth Shirt' and nice jeans (no holes).

Join us for our Earth Day Assembly on Friday, 4/27 @ 10:45am with a special guest parent Robert Swan with Rainbow Worms.  Our children will learn about recycling and composting with worms to make a new garden for Calvary.
 
An Earth-Friendly PPP Opportunity
Sign up to recycle empty ink cartridges - it's easy!

- Set up a Staples Rewards Account online.


- Drop off 10 empty ink cartridges per month in a Staples Store.  (Empty cartridge and toner containers will be provided by the school office.)


- Staples will email you a Rewards Statement with a $20 coupon monthly.

- Bring your Rewards Statement and coupon to the school office and earn 3 PPP Hours!  

This program pays for much-needed ink for our teachers,and keeps empty cartridges from filling up our land fills.  Go Green Every Day!
 
 
Take the Planet Pledge
 
 
I _______________________________________,  promise to recycle all I can.  I will buy product that can be recycled, put all recyclables in a recycling bin, and buy products made from recycled materials whenever I can.  I will ask my family and friends to recycle, too.
 
I can make a difference! * Earth Lovers Rock! * Litter Bugs Me!
