SO THERE'S A NEW DAY
"STAND"
This year, STAND, the Clague recycling team, will continue to recycle in the cafeteria. Every day after lunch, STAND volunteers sort recyclable items out of the trash. You can help by rememberingto recycle items such as empty bottles and cans instead of throwing them away. If you are a 6th or 7th grader interested in volunteering, please meet today by the cafeteria drinking fountain when your grade goes outside after lunch.
As many of you know, STAND volunteers sort recyclables out of the trash and into the recycling bins every day after lunch.
We Compost@Clague
There are two compost bins in the cafereria where you can put any fruit and vegetable scraps leftover from lunch.
