Not only did the school recycle cans, but letters were sent out to the area businesses to help, either financially or by donating their aluminum cans. Individuals, groups and memorials were also given to the playground fund. Can RoundUp Cash for Cans recycling program. Cash for Cans is an ongoing project in which the students do most of the hands-on recycling and decide how to spend the profits. Children, parents, staff and several area businesses work together to make our program a success.
Students work in teams to sort, count, bag and load the aluminum cans into the truck.
Notices are sent to parents to keep them informed and involved in our recycling efforts. All money earned through aluminum can recycling is spent on student projects. Teachers and students provide suggestions and the entire student body makes its choices by classroom ballots.
