Rickard is holding a Shoe and Denim Drive from May 2-20. Items can be dropped off in the donation box outside the office next to the lost and found. Denim can be in any type of condition since these items will be recycled through the BlueJeansGoGreen program which makes insulating material for various items. Shoes need to be clean, dry, and in gently used condition. These will be recycled through the Sneaker Impact Program. Thank you in advance for all donations!

Mrs. Conlin's class participated in an Oil Spill Clean Up as an Earth Day STEM Challenge. The class was split into 6 groups. Each group got their own "lake" and "bird" that had been affected by an oil spill. The challenge included each group collaborating with each other to choose any combination of 4 add-on items to use to clean up the oil in addition to a paper towel, spoon, and bowl. There was dawn dish soap, pipe cleaners, coffee filters, cotton balls, and cups available as add-on items. Some groups chose 2-3 of the same item while other groups chose 4 different items. It was so fun to see how they cleaned their "lakes" and "birds". Some "lakes" were left with little to no water, as it ended up all over the table and on the floor! It was a great, messy time!!
